Set asa to 100.
Unscrew spanner screw on wind lever top. Lift off plastic trim and lever.
Unscrew spanner nut underneath.
Unscrew hot shoe, then unscrew tiny spanner nut underneath.
DO NOT TRY TO TAKE OUT SCREW IN MIDDLE OF REWIND KNOB. Carefully block slot
in rewind shaft inside film chamber (being rough can bend the fork and make
back opening difficulty.) Flip up rewind handle (for leverage) and unscrew
knob.
Remove two small screws under rewind knob.
Lift top off. Note position of tab on top of meter (just a shade south of
3:00) This is your reference position for asa 100 and must match up with
slot inside asa knob.
Hope this helps.
