Elmo 1000S repair

Post by Big Jay »

The exposure needle in the view finder of my ELMO 1000S is not working. It does not respond under auto or manual exposure mode. The camera was droppped about 2 feet onto carpeting - not a hard fall. Does anyone have suggestions for fixing this problem? I've been given some expensive ($100 - $200) quesstimates from vendors in Michigan and New York. Any ideas?

Thanks,

To be fully honest I would not bother to fix it. I was told by Irv Higdon that the early Elmos camera using that type of meter are toast once they die. You could buy another for less than $100.
