I just subscribed because I was recently given a Leica IIIc with two collapsible lenses, 50/3.5 and 35/3.5, a 35mm finder and an apparently dead light meter with a low-light attachment. It is my first Leica, though I have enjoyed a FED 2 for a few years and the joys of rangefinder photography. First of all, I'm desperately in need of a film take up spool! If anyone has a spare that they're willing to sell, please email me on or off list. My email is william.seibert@snet.net. Thank you for your consideration - I'm just chomping at the bit wanting to get shooting! Secondly, is there any way to revive a dead light meter? The needle jumps up when I attach the low light attachment, but otherwise the needle rests at the bottom of the window. I'd imagine a replacement selenium cell (if that's what's in it) is the answer, but I'm afraid that no one makes these. Any thoughts? Or is a light meter funeral in order? Thank you for your time. Will Seibert
