Just picked this up for $8.00. Didn't seem to work with a battery that was in it and seller bought it for $5.00 at a garage sale (I know him) and figured the camera otherwise was in good condition.
Tried a new battery and no go and then noticed some blue crud on one of the battery contacts that prevented battery contact with the metal. Scraped it off and a little extra clean with a qtip. Put the battery back in and light meter started working.
Good battery in for the built in flash, but didn't work.
I figure as is. Should work as a good walking around automatic camera.
Will test it out once the film in my Yashica and Konica are done
