    one tip, as you are screwing into plastic, after you have lostened the screws, do them back up with a jewellers screwdriver so you only use finger tip tension, not your whole hand, which over torques the thread stripping it. the same thing is done by people servicing computers, I phones, etc. as they are micro mechanics, dealing with small and delicate parts.

  • @2kBofFun
    @2kBofFun 6 місяців тому

    With all the "epoxy" talk it sounded hard to fix, but this actually looks pretty easy. Seeing this I envision an even easier fix: remove the PCB completely and put this piece inside: IRM-10-5 Meanwell PCB all-in-one switching PSU.

    • @DigitalArtDeco
      @DigitalArtDeco 6 місяців тому

      Hello, with some PSUs it is easier, with others it is not. Mine here was very easy to open, but I have also had some that were very difficult to open. Sometimes too much epoxy has been filled in, which makes reworking even more difficult. The idea with the IRM-10-5 Meanwell is a good one. However, this model has a ripple of 200 mVpp, which is very high. Computer chips from the early 80s are sensitive and should not be exposed to high ripple for too long. In another video, however, I followed a similar idea and installed a voltage regulator that had a ripple of about 20mVpp.

    Hi, I was so happy to find your video. I recently bought one of these on Marketplace and it worked when I tested but when I went to use it on a shoot a month or so later the measuring button does not work. All the other functions seem to be fine. I can change settings as needed but when I press the measuring button it always reads "0". I can see the switch assembly clearly at 5:00 in your video. Any tips on how I might repair it? What I should look for. I had a similar problem with an old Minolta incident meter where the unit worked but the on/off button did not function (I could power up by popping the battery in and out). I successfully repaired that by disassembling and cleaning the trace with contact cleaner. Maybe this one functions in a similar way? THanks.

    • @DigitalArtDeco
      @DigitalArtDeco Рік тому

      Hello and thank you for your question. The problem with the pushbutton could be quite banal. It is possible that a cable on the pushbutton has come loose. These devices are over 30 years old and it can happen that the solder joints break. Maybe you should just open the unit and see if any of the cables are hanging freely. My guess would be the cables on the pushbutton. One of them could be loose. Then just solder it back to the right place.

    Now I know how to get in there if my Spot-F ever goes down. I would also take a swab with some alcohol on the tip to clean off the inside ends of those contact switches or buttons, just in case one of them was touched and picked up some hand-oil while working in the insides.

    Hello. I've just received mine, but my viewfinder is different...Some Minolta F spotmeters have flat viewfinders, some of them have protruding one. Why it's like that ? Also, I don't know how to turn eyepiece to make a dot a bit sharper inside a viewfinder, do you know anything about it maybe ?

    • @DigitalArtDeco
      @DigitalArtDeco Рік тому

      The viewfinder should be rotatable to focus the spot. If it is not, please check if it is modified. Possibly there is also a previous unsuccessful repair?

    • @maxvortex3494
      @maxvortex3494 Рік тому

      @@DigitalArtDeco Thanks for the answer. I don't think there is a way to check if it's been modified. I thought that maybe there are a few versions of this lightmeter, and mine hasn't got this option to turn viewfinder.. It's rigid. Also, I'm not sure if it's taking correct measurements. If I got it right, the quickest way to measure the scene is to point it, shoot it, and reading shoud be on display, am I right ? First you need to set up shutter speed, let's say 1/60s, and later you can find desired combination of aperture and shutter speed by pressing arrows ? But if the reading of Aperture shows 5.6 and 1 (little decimal 1) - whats the Aperture value actually ? I compared the values it's giving me with my inside -a-camera lightmeter, and they are different..............

    Use a fuse before a TVS diode and a common mode choke followed by a capacitor after that. Mild spikes get clipped, but major ones cause crowbar effect. You can also use a FET follower that cuts the power when the TVS cuts in and trigger a crowbar circuit with a super fast transit time. I used circuits like that for protection of RF amplifiers.

They work very efficiently and safely. No heat is generated! I have also sold these regulators to a few interested people at cost price. Unfortunately I have only a small stock of the microchips needed to make this regulator work. But for two pieces it should be enough for you. :-) Where are you from? Please write me a private mail!
