Re: FS: Black MX user, wonky meter

[Joe Wilensky]

It worked fine for a while, then suddenly seemed at least three stops 
off, although it wasn't consistent. My repair guy didn't have any MX 
meter parts or parts MX bodies and would have had to send it out to 
someone else he knows, which would have been nearly $100, so I figured 
it wasn't worth it. I do have a chrome MX that's working fine, 
including the meter, but it's not for sale ... ;-)

What exactly is wonky about the meter? Did they tell you the problem

it got CLA'ed?

Unfortunately, my last experience getting an MX CLA'ed resulted in the
camera coming back nonfunctional. *grumble* must do something about 
that
one of these days...

I have a bargain condition black MX for sale. The meter started
behaving erratically and I found it was not worth repairing the
meter. It works beautifully otherwise, and I had it CLA'd early this
year. It does have some cleaning scratches on the mirror (not mine!)
but the viewfinder is clear. It's the quieter (and newer) variety of
MX, without the loud shutter "ping" that some have (and with the
plastic memo holder), and would make a great meterless camera, street
camera, or for use with flash or infrared film. It has some light
brassing on the sharp corners, but otherwise the black finish is fine.
