[Leica] IMGs: More Photographica + Kitty

[Jim Hemenway]

Douglas:

I don't know of any Weston V repair enterprises in the old sod but on 
the other side of the planet, I've had both of my Western V meters 
selenium problem repaired at Quality Light Metric, in Hollywood California.

The problem is that the seals inside the meters begin to leak air after 
many, many years,

My two were purchased by me in the 1960's and needed repair about ten 
years ago.  I use them quite a bit in my 11x14 work.

You might want to try them as they do good work.

I can't find a web site.

Best Regards,

Jim Hemenway
