The wind shouldn't be a problem -- grease gets into the levers by the
battery compartment, allowing the wind gears to "cross" and jam.  The meter
display is the headache.  Many 2s's develop "head amp failure", where the
meter display ceases to respond to variations in light intensity.  If this
is the problem, it's a lost cause.
