I just got a new battery cover with a packet of batteries from Germany. I find it odd that the cover has no inside metal contact for the battery plus end which faces out. And the meter doesn't move. Odd thing with the included instructions of the batteries is they say leave the battery out in the air for a while to get it behaving better. I'll try cleaning up the inner contacts with either sanding or steel wool to see if that helps get the battery to work. I hear that sometimes you need to get a stronger battery to get the old electronics to work.
I was able to get one to work by putting some WD40 on the battery contacts with a qtip. Letting it touch in that way for a day or two kind of probably removed some corrosion and then it worked great.
That's actually a good question, but couldn't find any official info. Some say it is 1/125th of a sec (flash sync speed) but hard to figure out. I have to try filming the shutter in high speed to see if I can figure that out (once I finish my film...).

Hello, do you know what's the shutter speed without battery?I can still fire the shutter even there is no battery loaded

@@zand it's really good to know cause this camera's light meter system was too old, it could be died someday in the future
