Re: FM light meter repair question

To add a bit more to Jon's question: is this little tab in place so that it will
catch the stepped rear edge of the lens aperture ring? The FM has a feature (not
found on the FM2) where this tab can be swung up and out of the way by pressing
a nearby button so that non AI lenses could be mounted. Only stop down metering
was possible in this configuration.

RCB, tab works as it should, battery compartment clean and new batteries and
still the meter is funky. I'm sending it off for repair/cla.
