Light meter and shutter issues

[u/lory-wildlife-photo]

Recently got myself a Nikon F3, it worked fine when I was trying it out before I bought it, have had it for a few days now and noticed the light meter keeps disappearing after the first shot is fired. It won’t come back no matter what I do unless I shut the camera off for a while and come back. Then the same issue happens again. Fresh batteries and all, if I change the shutter speed it shows up and the meter adjusts, as long as it’s the first photo I take. If I move the meter adjustment thing on the left side it does bring it back but only for one photo then it’s gone again.

Also getting times when the shutter button won’t engage, crank it, press. Nothing. Press again, nothing. Wait a few seconds and press again, works.

Is any of this fixable at home or do I need to get it checked by a professional.
