I need help with.they are all related to one area and hopefully a fairly easy fix
The lens mount it loose as is the shutter speed ring.the shutter works but the
speed indexes are off.the meter responds to light and the shutter does function.

As I recall, the lens mount itself holds everything in on these cameras. It may be a simple matter of tightening the four slotted screws that hold it in place.

I have some tear-it-apart notes on the FT. It sounds like the shutter speed ring position has been disturbed, so you'll need to set it back correctly before tightening the lens mount back down. It's all loose under the lens mount, as Plaskey noted. Write me at [email protected] for the notes.
