Another FED question

[P3D Edward I. Comer <comer.ed@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

While I have no current problems, does anyone know where I could obtain (a)
a detailed description on disassembly/reassembly of a FED; (b) diagrams or
exploded views of a FED to enable disassembly/reassembly ? Thanks in advance!

I have anticipated one potential modification that I may undertake should
the rumers prove true. I'm referring to the rumers that FED's light meters
never turn off, and can quickly exhaust the battery. I had a though of how
to install a switch that would turn off the FED light meter when the camera
was stored, yet require no mechanical linkage, holes, etc. Assuming that
there was physical room within the body, place a small mercury switch in
series with the light meter circuit. When the camera was stored, store it
upside down. At all times, except when the camera was upside down, the
mercury switch would be closed enabling the meter circuitry. Turn it upside
down, and the battery is disconnected.

I'll wait to see if the rumers are true before I crack open my perfectly
functioning FED. I'd also like the requested info before wielding my
screwdriver.
