The mirror on my Nikon F is getting stuck in the up position. If I nudge the little lever inside the camera on the wind side, the mirror goes down. Is there anything I can do to that little lever or one of the screws next to it to fix this problem?

No, it doesn't seem to be gummy.

Hi, Kathy. If you need to replace your mirror damper, I can send you a kit with all the foam you'll need to change all the seals in the camera + instructions and a handy little tool...all for just $6. To see it, please go here:

Or, click on my name and contact me directly.
Best regards,
Jon
