    wait... a 500C, or a 500C/M? or 503CX?

    the 500C hasn't been made since for over 20 years.... it may be due for a CLA.. Clean, Lubricate,Adjust

    ...and the focussing screen on a 500C is darker than a 500C/M... try it! See if you can focus! The previous owner may have updated the focussing screen....

    I'd take it to a technician and have it checked out... these beasties can jam and/or do strange things if not used for a long time.... i.e. you may get a roll or two, then it gets tighter,etc...

    Also, are the lenses black or chrome? the chrome lenses flare easily, but you may want that....
