Why not replace the battery before you sell it?

Tom,
As stated in my post the camera was CLA'd (Cleaned, Lubed and Adjusted) by DAG Camera (Don Goldman) located in Oregon, WI last month, September 2021. Has not been used since it was returned.

HTH
Aloha!

It takes a 1.35v MR9. Originally a mercury battery now obsolete.

Zinc-air replacements available at Amazon. Search for Exell 1.35-Volt Zinc Air Coin Cell Battery; or,

Use an adapter FASTROHY 2Pcs MR-9 Battery Adapter Replacement for Film Camera and Exposure Meter MR9 PX625 PX13 - into which a LR44 or a 1.4v zinc-air. Note this adapter does not step-down the voltage.

The Fastrohy adapter does not reduce the voltage.

Here's the adapter I used since 2002 for all of my older 1.35V requirements. The adapter has a voltage regulator that drops the 1.5V to 1.35V. The battery is an easily obtained 386 battery. My first choice for those is Duracell.
