Actually I suspect this might be one of those "died the day the warranty ran out" ones. I've had several ME Supers that were close to mint but non-working. As popular as the camera was I suspect QC wasn't always what it should have been. This one shows NO wear at the film plane so I doubt it was used very much. Hopefully just a bad solder joint, cracked flex board or something like that. I'm a little wierd about display cameras, if they don't work, they don't get displayed. I feel that having a non-working camera is like having just a picture of one. Though I like looking at them my true fascination is with the marvelous mechanisms inside.
