I have three Sputniks, and I must say that all three take decent 
photos after being tuned up.

The shutters need cleaning.  The focus gets aligned when the shutters 
are reassembled.  The light leaks are easy enough to solve, and the 
internal reflections are simple too.

Not too much to ask of a camera that is 45 years old, I think.  :^)
