I was under the impression that even the F5 doesn't come this way from the factory, but that the flip-up tab can be added afterwards. I have a beater F3 which did fail in a similar way: the spring returning the AI ring to neutral broke once. Again, not a costly or difficult repair, and I just shot guess-to-matic for a while. The same F3 even had its meter circuit go out entirely once, and I used it for a few months on 1/90sec only. That was an interesting time. Byron.
