Hi
I just bought a used Nikon F3 with the known problem that the exposure memory lock button falls out a few mm from it's supposed position. This does not affect the functionality, but it doesn't look very nice.
I heard somewhere that this is a common problem. So I'm wondering if there's an easy fix to this.

I'm afraid it's not an easy repair. It requires removing the mirror box/front plate assembly to replace the button. A very small e-clip holds the button in place.
