My understanding is that under the ASA dial there is a ceramic/carbon resistor with what are probably gold brushes to complete the circuit. By turning the ASA dial from the minimum value to the maximum value a few times you may be able to improve the contact. If this doesn't work the resistor will have to be cleaned, if its cracked, spare parts are hard to find.

FB1 FD-1 combination works well for Macro work IMO and yes the aperture is visible. I don't own a FE-1 so can't help you answer that question. The ideal screen is the SI-20, though many of the screens without a split image work well. I believe the SD-21 works well in very low light.
