The meter position is controlled by several strings, one to the shutter
speed dial, one to the f stop coupling ring. Sometimes the strings break or
come off the pullies. With a dead, non-working meter, it is normal for the
meter needle to move when you turn the shutter speed dial down to B and open
the lens up. Often, at asa 100, B and f 1.8 will center the needle. Of
course, this is not an accurate meter reading. ;-)
