Make sure that it's in good condition, has been CLA'd recently (or, if it
hasn't, that the price relfects this), and that it hasn't been used
excessively in its life. I'm sure there are a lot them out there that
have have given years of faithful service without any problems, but I've
seen too many in bad shape to assume this. Check the film advance to make
sure that it's smooth and working properly, as MX's seem to be prone to
film advance problems. Wasn't someone on this list collecting all of our
MX comments? Was that Mike?
