Picked this up and checked it over. Here's what I know so far:
Shutter speeds seem to be fine. One second fires well as do all other speeds. Camera is pretty darn clean, minus the bottom plate where someone engraved their name. Glass is in fantastic condition.
I put a battery in the camera and the meter responds as it should, so appears to be working fine. I have NOT run a test roll through it yet, so can't vouch for the light seals, but I suspect it will be fine. If I get a chance to run a roll through it I'll update the description to indicate such.
Viewfinder is clean and clear. The brown skin on the camera is pretty slick and looks great. The half case fits like a glove. I may have the other half of the cased somewhere, as the case is something I had at home and didn't come with the camera when I picked it up. If I find the other half, I'll send it with it.
The vintage strap matches very well. However, if you want a solid black one I can switch them out. Heck, if you want a different vintage one I have about 15 of them also to pick from if you like.
Overall, one pretty darn beautiful little camera. Operations are fluid and smooth and operating as they should.I removed the Takumar for pics. The adapter remained on the camera. I wasn't sure how the adapters work, so didn't try to remove.
