His name is Robert Decker and all he does is repair F's and F2's metering
heads. I think if you do a Google search under robert decker you will find him.

Hi Steven!
Your story about the resistor plate being unavailable is true. However,
LRFlex member Alex Hurst discovered a chap in, I believe, Colorado, who can
fix the things without needing a new part. He restored a Photomic finder
for Alex, and did a very nice job!
Should you (or anyone here) need an old Photomic repaired, ask Alex
(corkflor@xxxxxx) for the guys name.
OTOH, Nikon is only promising parts for 5 years, even on their F5! That's
simply not good enough, for any product in that price range.
