I've read several places that the F-1 and FTb have a problem with linear
polarizers.  A quick experiment will probably see how much of a problem
there
is. Point your FTb at a uniformly lit wall, turn the meter on, and then
gradually turn the polarizer.  If the meter has problems with the linear
polarizer, you should see a pretty good dip in the meter reading at one
point.
If it stays pretty uniform, the meter is fine.

I remember a metering procedure that was suggested with the F-1 and FTb if
you
used a linear polarizer: turn the meter on, point at your subject, turn the
polarizer until you get the maximum meter reading, match needles at that
setting, and then return the polarizer to where you want.  A meter reading
at
that maximum setting is the correct one.
