In reading another recent thread on Nikons FE, FM, FM2 etc, I remember reading a remark about the Nikon FE having problems with shutter speeds. I’m wondering if it’s worth it to repair my FE or just move on. I do like the extra long exposure capabilities but not at the expense of more problems.

Yes, worth to repair. Usually it's an electric problem, like corroded switches, etc.

I love my FE. I have it with a MD-12.

The FE is my favorite camera, and honestly I don't think any of the newer and more expensive models in the series offer much beyond what the FE offers. I actually prefer the FE as the light meter does not time out and it doesn't have the ugly markings on the front of the body (the huge model designation that doesn't match the font of the Nikon logo on the prism housing).

You are a true Nikonian, sir.
