If an OM-1 meter is off, it is usually an error that is the same at all
light levels. If not, it could mean that the cds cells have gone bad or the
testing procedure was not up to snuff. (Hopefully no one has ever fiddled
with the resistors in the meter circuit).
Your test results would mean that in bright light, slides would be
overexposed (too light) and underexposed (dark) in low light.
