 'Conversions' done by some other shops (which I have re-done by request) 
often include nothing more than centering the needle with the eccentric at a 
mid BV.  Also, 9 out of 10 times camera comes in with the alkaline battery. 
This conversion without diode causes a definite error in bright light of 
atleast 1/2 (one half) stop (underexposure).
