contacts when I discovered that the meter turned on when the shutter was locked, or wouldn't turn on at all.,
especially after all seemed well with the bottom plate off.

Hello Peter,
Thanks for the info. I'll have to try that and see if that clears it up.

Wondering if there are any hints as to quirks with the MX. Picked on up for my daughter the other day. She shot about half of one roll with it last night and the light meter went dead. I figured the battery was probably dead and so purchased new ones and put them in today. Still seems to be dead. Any thoughts? Any tricks like oxidized contacts, etc?
Thanks,
Bruce
