Agree 100!%. Of all the things one can choose to waste money and time on, a three-quarters-dead Nikon F3 would be last on my list. You generally cannot DIY repair a badly malfunctioning F3 due to its electronics, and the F3 is pretty much a "deal or no deal" camera model to begin with. Nikon went to great effort to make their first electronic F body as rugged and robust as possible, so a great many of them have held up quite well, but the ones with major problems aren't worth the trouble and expense of repair when you can instead just choose another of the thousands of fully operational F3 bodies. IOW, there are very few "bargain" F3 bodies in circulation today. There is no such thing as buying a funky cheap F3 and nursing it back to health with DIY: either spend the going rate for a guaranteed fully working F3, or don't get an F3. Repair costs for a defective F3 will equal or exceed the cost of a replacement fully functional F3 body. BTW, corrosion on electronic cameras is very bad omen: any corrosion on an electronic camera is an instant no for me.
