Grrr. Investigated the Minolta, the RF wasn't fully moving because a part of the arm that holds the moving mirror was fetching up against the inside of the top cover. I fixed that, but while trying to improve the RF patch contrast, have ruined it. The half-silvered mirror was tarnished hence the poor contrast, but not I've ruined the silvering altogether. They're notoriously difficult to replace, so if someone wants this to use as a scale-focus camera then let me know. It's fully working, Minolta AL, focus is accurate, speeds are fine, meter is accurate and working well, comes with a lens cap but no case, and a roll of Poundland Agfa is still in there (only took one shot). At least it was cheap, and as it turns out, not really worth much more than I paid for it anyway, so I judged that side of it wrong!
