Kodak Retina

I was just given a 1954 Kodak Retina camera that appears to be in excellent condition except for a non-functioning light meter. It is beautifully made.

Sometimes old stuff is just that, old stuff. Other times a classic can re-create a feel not possible with newer equipment like my Canon film and digital slr's.

Does anyone have experience with this camera? Would you invest in having if cleaned and fixed?

I am about to develop my first test roll of film, but while I'm waiting I would be interested in any feedback from any of you.

Thanks,
