Leaving a 2N meter switch "on", it would take months to drain the batteries,
if that. If it's an ebay special, it could have been tampered. For
example, just taking the wind mechanism out improperly (and putting it back
the same way) can cause severe battery drain. But on it's own, I don't
remember ever seeing a 2N with drain as bad as you describe. It can be
fixed, possibly within the confines of a flat rate overhaul.
