Just picked this little beauty up for very little. Ran through the speeds and the seem about right. Range finder works (which was an unexpected bonus as it was apparently not working) and the light meter reads correctly too.
It's a solid little camera with the Color Skopar 50mm f2.8 lens which is clear of fungus and dust spots. The aperture appears to be a little oily but this doesn't impact operation. It only has the Prontor SLK-V shutter with a maximum speed of 1/300 sec as opposed to the Prontor 500 SLK with a maximum of 1/500 seconds.
The only issues so far are there is some haze in the viewfinder and screw is missing from the top plate but at under £30 including ever ready case and genuine Voigtländer UV filter I'm definitely not complaining.
Just need to put a film through it now.

Got my test film back today.
Shutter speeds and meter look to be accurate.
Range finder looks like it may need some calibration.

I certainly won't take it apart myself.
I have a very good repairer just half an hour away who I'll get to do it.
He's got it at the moment in fact as the range finder is front focusing the image and on closer inspection I noticed the moving lens was loose.
