Did early Nikon f2's have problems?

I was out twice in the last 2 weeks w/my N2000 & 135mm Series E! Got great stuff in my Late Style.

The lady of the house has a F301 / N2000 - that's an underrated cam ! She has it for about 30 years (bought it new in 87) and took it all over Europe - still works like it should. Like the built-in alarm clock !!

I think it has the best meter readout of any Nikon--easy to over/underexpose a couple of stops if you want to.

My wife likes her F-301 for slide film with my Nikkor 20mm/f3.5 ai - her other favorite lens is the 75-150mm f/3.5 series e.
Unbelievable : one can get this nice cam for less than 50,- EUR today.
