Nikon FE light meter problems - solutions?

[John Koehrer]

Might get an "as is" from KEH?
I don't believe the wiper has any loose stuff under it.
There's a spring that wraps part way around the lens mount.
If on'e available for cheap, get it and take the mount off & take a look.

Yes, if I find another broken FE I will try to use that for spare parts.

However, I have a couple of other Nikons so this FE will probably for the time being be a camera with uncoupled meter.

You can buy a perfectly working fe for $60 on ebay, and likely sell yours in current condition for half that.

Oh, that's cheap!
