It has faults:
The mirror sticks up sometimes. :
The meter switch does not return when the shutter is released.
The mirror cushioning foam needs replacing.
Cosmetically it is not bad: the bottom plate is slightly (lightly) scuffed, there is an odd chip in the paint on the backplate and there is almost no paint left on the eyepiece. It comes with an original and slightly scruffy ERC, which might look OK with some polish.
My guesstimate of the value is that it is about the cost of sending it to Harrow Technical for a full service which would correct the faults.
Much as I would like to keep it, I have an SP to hang my M42 lenses on, and I do not need the extra features of the SPII.
It is offered for the cost of postage.
Alternatively, collection in West Wilts, or a drop-off in Swindon are both possible.
