Minolta AL-F rangefinder camera

This is a Minolta AL-F rangefinder. It is a shutter priority autoexposing rangefinder. The guy who I bought it from said the shutter was performing erratically. Well, I took the battery out and realized he was only getting intermittent battery contact because he had put the battery in upside down and when he screwed the battery cover down, it mashed the battery spring flat. I took the battery out, used a dental pick to pull the battery spring back up into position, put a fresh battery into it and it works fine now. It is pretty rare that the fix is this easy.
