Better buy another one or just leave it there with no meter.
Fixing it would cost more than a clean ft2 or ft3

Depending on where you buy one it could be cheaper, but my luck has always been getting problem bodies from lying (or at least) ignorant sellers.
I own a FT2 & 3. The 3 is going to go due to a botched repair by no longer in business repair shop. It unfortunetly won't focus at infinity.
The replacement is an FE that again needs fixing as it's capping. Took 10 to 15 shutter releases to find that one out. Still it's a hell of a camera that many people don't know has the ability to keep the shutter open and metering for a correct exposure for a very long time. Were talking up to an hour supposely, although my longest was 1 to 2 minutes.

I love the FTn because it still looks a bit like a rangefinder Nikon.
