This apparently had some type of impact damage and the Shutter speed dial is not working correctly. When changing the shutter speeds, the readout in the viewfinder shows all sorts of random speeds. Doesn't include insert or winding knob. A bit dusty. Let me know if any questions.

$50 plus shipping.

After much fiddling around, I was able to get it into B mode so that it could be used as a pinhole. I don't have the 120 insert. I have a pinhole body cap for $20 if you want it.

Jon:

I'm unsure about one thing in your description. Is it just the meter readout that is not working properly, or are you also unable to set the shutter speed?

I.E. will this camera work as a manual (no meter) camera - can you set the shutter speed (and lens aperture) manually, and have the shutter (and lens aperture) work as set?

Is the viewing/focussing system working correctly?

The shutter speed dial is not functional. I believe something much have broken from an impact so that the dial is not able to set shutter speeds in any predictable fashion. As far as I know, the metering and exposures are working, but not able to test with the shutter dial broken. So, can't be used in a manual fashion because unable to manually set speeds or even into auto mode.

The mirror, viewfinder, shutter are working correctly. It's currently in B mode, so could be used as a night photography camera, or pinhole camera.
