Bauer Royal 10E Light Meter

Post by hardcrocodile »

Hey everyone,

I finally got my hands on a working Bauer Royal 10e (I've already had a couple of corroded ones). Played with some long exposures last night, and everything seemed to be working great. Was walking around shooting some stuff today and realized that the auto exposure wasn't working. It's just stuck at f/22. I looked through the gate, and the aperture is definitely not adjusting automatically. Manual works fine. It was definitely working last night.

I took off the left side panel and looked around. Everything looked good, no corrosion or loose wires or anything. So everything works -- all speeds, intervalometer, long exposure, etc. Just no internal light meter. Any ideas? Thanks!
