Canon 814E Manual Exposure Drifts, any ideas?

Post by jessh »

When I set the exposure manually (using the little knob that you pull out) the exposure indicator in the viewfinder moves but once I stop turning it slowly drifts back all the way to the left underexposed area. The automatic exposure apears to work correctly, havent run any film through it yet though. Does anyone have any ideas why it would be doing this? Any ideas how to fix it? Im not really afraid to open it up, already have some to fix the problems caused by corrosion, but don't want to open it up that far without a manual or something unless I have a good idea what the problem is to begin with.
