[OM] OM77AF - To buy or not to buy?

I noticed again last week that the neighborhood camera shop still has, as they 
have had for a year or more, an OM77AF, with what I assume to be a 50mm AF 
lens.  I know next to nothing about this camera beyond the fact it autofocues 
with certain lenses and works with the F280 flash.  It looks to be in quite 
good condition, at least as near as I can tell without handling it and from 
seeing in only through the display case glass.

Question:  At an asking price of $175, subject, I'm sure, to at least some 
reduction after a moderate amount of dickering, should I give it a go?  I have 
only 9 bodies, all of the single digit persuasion, and 10 is such a nice round 
number.  Besides, one never knows when one might get the notion to put a 
remotely operated camera in the middle of the railroad tracks, for instance, or 
on the brush guard of the OM-4Runner, or up a tree by a woodpecker hole, or 
down into a suspected bear den, or in some as yet unthought of place too 
hazardous for the likes of a 1, 3, 4 or 4Ti.
