I know of a local shop that I think can probably handle it, they did some
220 and 616 for me a few months ago, but I haven't asked them yet.
Yes, the sunny 16 rule could be a problem on a Quickmatic, since there's no
manual aperture control.
Do you know if the meters generally stop functioning, or do they deteriorate
slowly? I ask because with mine set to auto, it won't fire the shutter
unless the camera is pointed at a bright light. I haven't tried it outdoors
in sun light yet though. Also, I don't know if this could be just because
there's no film in the camera. Assuming one could find a sourse, do you have
any idea how difficult the selenium would be to replace?
Thanks again,
Darin
