Hi Albano, Congratulations on the purchase, I can't wait to hear your response when you first view some nice big 67 slides under a loupe :-) If the prism rattles up and down then the foam around the base of the prism may have deteriorated as it should keep the assembly pretty tight, if so it's not difficult to cut some foam to fit. However this doesn't explain your metering problem, maybe the springs behind the electrical contacts on the prism have become weak?
