Rollei 35SE light meter service information

Postby ve6bsv » Sat Oct 11, 2014 4:12 am

Good morning, Oceanside Camera Repair tells me that my Rollei 35SE light meter cannot be repaired. However, the SE light meter is entirely electronic and the design would date from circa 1978 so it should consist - exclusive ofthe CdS photosensor - be made of parts that can either be replaced or emulated.

Does anybody have a schematic diagram and/or pictures of light meter assembly? I am interested in the possibility of fixing the unfixable SE light meter, a project that might be useful to many Rollei 35 owners.

The CdS photosensor is the usual point of failure (if not just dirty/bent contacts).

(somehow this looks like the circuit board to me, not 100% sure though, I'll have to open a 35SE/TE)

I like the new name, The Institute for the Very Very Desparate. If that is the PCB out of a Rollei 35 then there is nothing on it that cannot be fixed or replaced.

I also have been thinking about battery contacts etc. I think I will have to do some exploratory surgery on the patient.

Or just forget that it ever had a light meter. That methed works well too.
