Minolta SRT battery check adjustment

[dennis0311]

I had to do an adjustment to the meter on the SRT.  I took off the bottom cover an adjusted the resistor. Now the meter matches my other SRT and a Pentax. My problem is when I got the meter set right it threw off the BC (battery check). So I adjusted the other resistor for the battery. The needle will not come down far enough on the BC. It is way above what it should read. Is it possible that I messed up the resistor? Good thing is the meter is now accurate(-:

I wouldnt worry about the BC. Look where the needle points with fresh batteries and use that as your reference point. Don't know about the resistor though. Still it seems that the camera is working fine now. More than mine is!

Don't forget that some resistors have a wide tolerance, +/-20%, may pay to check value with good meter.
