If you bid on this camera expecting to use it without repair, it was 
foolish. Taking a chance for fun on a cheap as-is or parts body is fine, 
but don't be disappointed if it doesn't work. If you want a fully 
functioning camera, don't pick any that are as-is. Pick one with a clear 
return policy, clear description of condition and from a seller with 
excellent feedback. Your chances of getting what you want go WAY up and 
you can return it if it isn't right. I've bought a lot of cameras on the 
'Bay with hardly any surprises. But you do have to pay attention and 
have the patience to let the iffy ones go. In the other direction, I've 
bought OM-10 and 20 bodies and an  OMPC advertised as parts cameras that 
worked fine with correct batteries.
