Walt,
Thanks. I think I'll have a go, but I'm not sure yet how much they're acutally
worth, and it may not meet reserve anyway.

I was sure others more technologically proficient and knowledgeable (at least
who claim to be) would have chimed in on this by now, but since they haven't,
here's my two cents' worth as the owner of two MD2s.
The Ni-Cd packs can be rebuilt. Then there's always the alternative of the
M.18V Control Grip and its dozen AA cells. It never needs rebuilding or
recharging, just reloading every year or so.
The LCD display is powered by a pair of Silver 357s, or the equivalent. Maybe
that's the problem with this one. I'm not sure what the seller means by it not
lighting. LCDs don't light up. Or maybe that's not the problem. I have heard
these displays finally die, no matter what. Both of mine still work. At this
price, I'd go for it. The film counter on the camera will tell you all you
need to know. Anyway, the camera counts up and the MD2 counts down, and that's
always bothered me.
Anyway, good luck and happy bidding.
Walt
