In Need of TLC

My Dads trusty old Minolta XG-M. It vanished for years only to be found months ago, lost again & found again recently. Seems it burrowed it's way to the bottom drawer of a storage chest.

Rather scruffy looking with no batteries, an attachable flash and an old Kodak film it was unearthed from the drawer and shall be restored to its original Minolta glory...........Once I get round to reading the manual.

Might need to learn photograhpy property if I'm going to get a good shot out of this engineered wonder.

Unfortuantely the Kodak film present in the camera has been damaged...may have been some timeless pics on there.
