Hi, Rob, and thanks to all the other Brothers for your warm welcome.
I finally fixed it, and you are right. It was the foam that was
desintegrated. Luckily, I've some foamed tape (supposedly to put posters on
the wall), cutted it to fit, and voila, it fits tight now. And it allowed
the electric contact too. The only problem is that it seems the meter is
waaay out, something close to 2 stops (I'll do some more serious tests
later). It doesn't bother me too much, since I'll use my "serious" meter,
my dear Gossen Lunapro F with that beast, to keep the package compact ;-)
(seriously, 120 film is too expensive as to tolerate missing frames due to
exposure errors).
Regards

Albano



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?
Cheers,
Rob Studdert
