Yes, the shutter must be cocked to allow the CL meter to function. In 
addition, the advance lever needs to be pulled away from the camera body 
to turn the meter circuit on. If the shutter advance mechanism isn't 
functioning, both shutter and meter will not function.

Pro Photo will be more adept at telling you what it will cost for them to 
fix it than I could be...
