always check that the meter switch automatically switches from "on" to "off" every time when firing the shutter. thats the most common problem with older spotties. meter switch sometimes gets stuck "on" in error. that in turn causes mirror to not rise fully and a partial unexposure of the film frame.

It works perfectly, even the meter with proper battery.
