there are many examples of mechanical SLRs from the 60s that still work and require only about an hour of reading instructions and watching Youtube to restore to mint condition.
There are a ton of Asahi Pentax cameras that come with a classic 55mm Takumar lens for $20-30 on Yahoo Auctions (Japan) right now.
