I obtained camera on the local fly-marcet with 55/2.0 lens for $23.

Condition generally is nearly perfect.Hovever the light meter doesn't react to the battery.

I opened the lower panel and clined conatcts, but it didn't change anythig.

Hawe suspision, that contacts on the shutter ring also need cleanig.

But I woder, whether I would be able to reach it by only takeing the upper ring from camera?

Or it would need dipper disasembly?
