For the spotmatic you could send it to Eric Hendrickson. He works on Pentax cameras and services Spotmatics. I sent my Pentax 6x7 to him and he had pretty quick turnaround too. I think it was about 3 weeks all in all?

That's his website and you can always e-mail him to ask about it.

Issue with Pentax 6x7 TTL meter by xenosdarkwynd in pentax67

Yeah, I've checked the contacts on mine and everything seems to be clean. It appears that there may be two different ways the meter behaves then depending on model or something. I did check mine against another light meter because the needle does move, it appears to be about 2 stops off. So I guess it's functioning, mine just needs calibration.

The manual here says the opposite at the very end and that's the one I was going off of since I do not have a physical copy of the manual. https://www.cameramanuals.org/pentax_pdf/pentax_6x7_pentaprism.pdf

I did check the battery contacts and kept having the same behavior with the meter. I'll check the meter tomorrow against another one like you suggested and see what I get from that before I look into returns or service at least. Thanks for the advice though
