That may be so, but it certainly has not been my
own experience -- I have owned over 20 TLR's with
meters, and every one worked and worked well. If
it is true, it is because folks like you and Todd
tell the owners that the meters are "unrepairable" or "not worth fixing".
Bear in mind that selenium more closely matches
the frequency range of film than do other
substrates such as CDS or SPD or Gallium
Arsenide. A selenium meter is delightfully
accurate and is a worthy adjunct to daylight photography.
