I had this problem with one of my Spotmatics (thats why it was cheap!) but I managed to get it working again by injecting a few drops of oil into the small hole with a lever sticking out near the mirror hinge.

I use a wire paper clip bent into shape to get the oil inside, or you could try a thin plastic tube filled with oil, I think I thinned the oil with lighter fluid. I tried all the other things but this did the trick and the meter switch is still working as it should. Be careful not to get oil onto the mirror or screen.
