Currently $336USD plus shipping from Australia. Lens Serial Number is 502703.

From the listing:
Serviced on the 6/4/2020 - Replaced light seals as necessary. Checked and tested transport shutters and speed. Light meter not working.
3 test rolls but the following issues present:
1. Frame counter not operating.
2. Instead of getting10 frames the spacing between each frame is increasing and getting only 7 1/2 to 8 frames.
3. Looking at images focused at infinity, the whole image seems to be noticeably tilted, so the bottom of frame is in focus whilst the top is blurred (or in portrait, the right frame is in focus and the left is blurred).

Not interested in pursing repair hence the sale.
Please note that I have listed the issues as noted but camera is a vintage used item and purchased as is.

Interesting. Even if it cost $1K+ to make it right it would still be a good deal. It sounds like either someone had it apart and didn't know what they were doing or the camera suffered a drop from a ladder. ;-)
 
Ended at $666USD.
Some one thinks they got a devil of a deal.
