Hello everyone, first post! ... Since auction had only frontal view picture couldn't have known that the mirror was murky and shutter stuck....
Welcome to the forum!
Exaktas are fun to use. You may find these links useful:

You're right, swapping the mirror is relatively easy. Swapping the shutter isn't much difficult either (the camera is easy to strip down unlike some other, more sophisticated devices). However, adjusting the shutter to make speeds fire properly is a real pain in the rear. "Exa" was much easier in that because it was a cheaper model with fewer speeds.Thank you! These indeed look useful. This Exakta might turn into a fun project in the end.
congratulations the camera looks to be in mint condition, I bought one off eBay from someone in England last year for a very reasonable price and when I received it I was amazed at what good condition it was in the only mark on camera is a very slight scuff on the base plate. they are great S.L.R.'s that are rugged and reliable if you need to come home with pictures, not excuses.Canon F1 with a very nice FDView attachment 200051 50/1.4 and FD 35-105/3.5

I'm very tempted by an F1n in my local camera store that's as new in the original box regardless of the fact it's expensive, my wife said "if it gives you pleasure, buy it " but I have two mint Fin's already and two New F1's and probably wouldn't use it, and I'm not a collector and don't want any shelf queens..I strongly agree. I absolutely love the F-1. I had one some years ago and took some incredible pictures with it, but I foolishly sold the camera. This one is definitely a keeper, and I'm looking forward to capturing amazing moments with this one as well.
