Marvelous little camera, I'll take it off your hands for what you've got in
it...

Fully auto, two shutter speeds, selenium meters sometimes go bad from age.
Set the film speed, camera selects shutter speed from two (1/40 and 1/200 I
think). Bright line finder with parallax lines in it. Thumbwheel film
advance. Aperture range from 2.8 to 22, maybe 3.5 to 22, I don't have my
other one in front of me right now. Zone focus, no rangefinder. Set to one
of the aperture numbers on the lens ring sets the shutter speed to 1/40, so
you have a limited manual control though that feature is intended for flash
use.

Foam seals at the bottom of the back tend to get crumbly.  One of Maitani's
great designs, back when he was just starting out.
