The meter coupling lever on a Photomic T that I just picked up is sluggish, slow, and has a difficult time remaining coupled with the rabbit ears. However the meter powers up and appears to be in good working order, so I would like to remedy this. Any suggestions on how to confront this? This seems to be a common problem with most Photomic Ts that I have found in the past.

It's pretty quick and easy - pull off the front panel and clean the coupling linkage stuff with lighter fluid, and it'll snap right back.
