Managed to acquire a Yashica Minister "D" this weekend for the heady price of £5 with the (n)ever ready case. Just need to clean the lens properly (possibly internal surfaces too) and clean the RF windows and set vertical adjustment, then it should be a good 'un.
I have an alkaline battery in the meter (need to check that against a reliable meter - should be a mercury battery) and the shutter seems to work accurately. First impressions are of a solid build and quality feel.
Hopefully I'll have some pics to post from it by the time I have my home net connection sorted out.
