gee!  aren't you tell us how much??  i'd say $150 in good shape for the
pair!!  any thing less was a bargain!!  (my $20 garage sale realist
was a bargain in 91!)

no need to!

naval jelly might help but a small wire brush and a razor blade scraper
should do the trick! (watch your eyes!)

i don't know this camera!

not quickly enough i'm sure!  but just the film visable is fogged! wait
until you have instructions and shoot the exsisting film on out! did you
see what film it was??  wouldn't hurt to open it again to see!

> Question #5.  Any suggestions on how to test out the camera, 

find a subject and constant light source! meter, if inside or use the
sun outside (f16 at 100th with that ec 100)!  first pick a medium speed
and shoot the same picture at all f stops!  next, shoot several shots of
the same subject at all combinations of stops and speeds that would give
you the same exposure. of course, keep notes!
