There are quite a few techs that can still do a CLA on the mechanical
parts. If any of the electronics are bad you're kind of out of luck.
Unfortunately the only one I've used recently is in Tenn. and you being
in SA could probably buy a working ME Super for less than the shipping
charges.

I have 3 ME Supers. (One bought new & the other two from a job lot I
bought). One still works perfectly, one doesn't fire occasionally &
the third fires only intermittently. From what I have read, a CLA
(Clean, Lube & Adjust) service is necessary. Are there still techs who
can do that? Apparently the grease on the many levers & pivots hardens
with time, causing the problem. I tried leaving them in the sun which
helped for a while but the problem recurred after a couple of hours.

Damn! I had an ME Super with the same problem that I tossed about a year
ago. I should have tried that.

You are the 2nd or 3rd person that suggested that. So I just whacked

Thanks Bob, and thanks to all who contributed suggestions!

Stan,
Give it a sharp spank or three.
I've cleared some hangups this way before on the ME Super.

Good thought. But no help. I have worked the settings-dial back and
forth a few times. The only position that feels different is L
(Lock?). When in L position the shutter does not depress at all. In
all other positions the shutter button moves but does nothing.

Did you try setting to 125x position? isn't it supposed to be the
only mechanical speed? or Bulb?

I'll contact the seller - I got most of my money's worth just with

do a
