You can always reset Nikons to factory default from the menus.
He already did that.

Bill, they made the transition quite well. They seem to be immune to the passage of time.

After everyone weighs in and the camera still does not work CALL ADORAMA. Give them the whole story and tell them you are not happy with the purchase. They should take care of you.
Yes, thank you. I shipped the used camera back to them and paid the $300 difference for a new one. It’s arriving a Monday. Great minds...LOL.

Yes, my FM still works just like new. 40 years old - even works without a battery!

you could do a reset and see what happens it may fix it
What’s interesting and makes me wonder is could the problem be with the lens? Nobody ever asked me that at Adorama before we agreed on the swap for a new camera. The intermittent failure of the shooting menu reset function in the D7200 still leads me to believe the problem was in the camera. Guess I’ll find out on Monday when both the new camera and my second used lens, the Nikon 18-140 arrive. Hmmm. It will be a mystery til then.

Not really. I never really left them. My Nikon F never has the problem described by the OP, neither does my Hasselblad 500c or my Graphic View II.

The ONLY problem my Nikon F ever had was that I stupidly sold it!!

Just slightly off the subject-- my dad once brought home from the hardware store a roll of packing to fix a drip behind the toilet.
He put the package on the back of the toilet, intending to do the job after church on Sunday.
Sunday came, and no drip.
To my mother's dismay, the package was still there years later when I went off to college.
Still no drip.
My dad really knew how to fix stuff.

Take it from someone who has worked around computers since 1959 (IBM 650), it was a demon. They have evolved and migrated to all the devices with computer chips. Long live FORTRAN and COBOL.
Wow, there's a couple of words I haven't heard in a long time. (FORTRAN and COBOL)
