I recall that was described as being "as is" with a very worn lens.

It should operate by simply switching it to Manual. The overhaul costs for
this model are very steep.

Sounds like another thing that needs to be adjusted in a complete overhaul.
I'm not sure this buy was worth it, especially considering what a Excellent
