Cosmetic Condition: Excellent overall condition (please refer to the provided photos to see the exact cosmetic state—what you see is what you get).
Mechanical Status: Sold for parts or repair. The camera was stored carefully and left unused for many years. When tested with a fresh battery, the meter powers on and works, and the camera successfully fired one click before stopping. It currently does not fire further. Perfect project for a skilled camera technician, a restoration enthusiast, or a collector looking for a pristine body for display.
