Haven't touched it. I looked into repairs, there is a fair bit of info out there. I think the timing gear comes out attached to the shutter assembly, not sure if you can remove it and soak it, may just need to wash it down. I expect the one you're looking at is just gummed up, I'd take a punt on it if the rest looks good. How is the lens? When Jen bought this one for me, there was also a iiia with a 50mm f1.5. I didn't really want the meter, but it is supposed to be a much better lens, not just a bit faster.
