Re: Zeiss iKon Contaflex S Matic wire repair

Hi, thanks for the reply funnily enough I came to the same conclusion today and decided to give it a crack with a small pair of tweezers and my small iron. Success! I just melted about a millimeter of the insulation off as well so I could tin a bit more of the wire and get a decent contact. The light meter now works properly and selects the Aperture required for correct exposure as it should. Here's a photo of the repair I think it'll hold Nice. Just have to get a roll of film now! Does anyone have a fix for the battery door? Mine looks fine and the little clip is still there but it won't stay closed. This is with a mr9 cell. It will latch if there is no battery.
