Metraphot Repair Input...

[nikon_sam]

Hey Guys...
I'm not looking to repair this myself I would be sending it to George at QLM.
What I'm looking for is input as to what would you do...???
If in working condition I would use it, I found it at a Thrift store and paid $5 for it. Not sure yet what it would cost to repair it, so here's where I'm asking...What would you do...??? Would you repair and use it or keep it as is, put it on a shelf (not wanting to invest in a repair) As you can see it's in great condition for it's age...

I don't think I would sell it if I get it repaired but what would this fetch if in working condition knowing the Maker's history and that some came with the Leica name stamped on it...

Update: I sent the meter to George @ QLM last Wednesday and hadn't heard from him...I was a bit worried that he hadn't called in over a week...well, today the meter came back with a note attached to it stating that it was returned "Un-repaired" due to parts no longer available...needless to say I was bummed...I guess it sits on a shelf after all...
