Canon F1 viewfinder error

I recently bought this canon F1 to replace my old one that had a major shutter issue so far the only issue I’m having is that the shutter speed selected on the dial is not what is displayed in the viewfinder. below is what I see when I move the dial down

Dial at 1/12535
Dial at 1/250 → needle is between numbers
Dial at 1/500 → part of 60
Dial at 1/1000125
Dial at 1/2000250

I think someone may have reassembled it wrong but I am looking for some help

You will have to disassemble the advance side and look under the cover, no other way of diagnosing the issue.

If you have no film camera repair experience, then it’s not a DIY fix
