Sounds like one of the bit's inside has got bunged up with lack of use , dried out lubricant and lack of use .

A good internal cleaning would sort it out .

For what they are selling for now , it might be worth checking out on how much a CLA would cost .

You'd get back a good as new camera .

Buy another old camera without a service , and how long before it needs work ?

Junking it or ripping it apart for spares just takes another camera that will never be replaced out of existence .

If you can't be bothered getting it fixed , sell it on as is , declaring the fault , and let someone else repair it .
