it's got a F2 lens not an F.2 thats a big difference. Also wasting a frame of film every time you go to use the camera sounds like your camera is broken. probably worth having it cleaned lubed and adjusted. still would be under 100$ for a nice shooter.
F.2 front lens element, that is fast.
Changing shutter speed after advancing the frame and cocking the shutter damages the shutter mechanism on these cameras. As awkward as it is, you have to choose your shutter speed first and then do the double-stroke. If you need to change exposure after cocking the shutter, you are limited to changing the aperture.
Id love that camera, it looks so cool. Sadly I live in the Netherlands, so shipping is probably way too expensive. But I like that you want to give it to people that will use these beauties. Cheers- Jelle
