This little monster I have had for over 20 years. It was fully operational up to around 5 years ago when I used it on a rainy day and it got rather wet. Since then the auto function only works when it feels like it, which is rare. I can, however use it in flash mode which is a fixed speed of, I believe, 1/125th and it still turns in some good results. The down side is that it's becoming harder to get 110 film processed and usually involves waiting a couple of weeks, not to mention the cost.
