Send it to your favorite repair place for $300 and get a full tuneup. For $1300, you have one of the best cameras available for film. Period. As far as comparing a used camera to a new one... again I disagree. It is a fair comparison for users. I think the entire reason for the Summarit lens line is used Summicrons. In fact, a used 28 Elmarit is MORE expensive than a new Elmarit ASPH. It is function for function comparison. Used vs new is a risk assessment issue which affects price.
