I just bought a Mamiya twin len camera w/ three lens and wanted to test each one. Opened the back and there was a roll of film still in the camera. The tape was broken but was still rolled. Like opinions as to what I can do. Dont know if it is exposed or not exposed. Cant tell.

If you don't know if it's exposed or not I'd send it back to the seller or at least contact him/her

If it was exposed it will:
1/ Be on the receiving spool
and
b/ the sealing leader strip will say 'exposed' on it.

Unless it was rewinded and 'forgotten' to take it out. (happened to me quite sometimes with my SLRs)

/edit
Stupid but missed on a Mamiya being the subject.

120/220 cameras do not rewind AFAIK. Normally the film travels one way, so it should be obvious unless somebody moved the exposed film to the opposite position.
