I'd show my Leica R9 the door yet (ironically) it makes such a good doorstop...
The only thing I don't like about my R9 is that it is missing a dedicated on/off switch.
It is such a poor design choice that the exposure mode dial is used to turn it on, so every time you need to 'cycle' through all the settings to get to the one you want.

Man I've got the same problem and worse than I thought. My kid wanted to try shooting film months ago. So I was like, I've got an old body or two in the basement, let's go look. Found a dozen old Minolta SLR's and Rangefinders in that box. I thought I had sold most of that off years ago. I've been thinking I should sell it now just to put it in someone else's hands. But so many obstacles, the major one being they all sat in a box for around a dozen years. I've no idea if there are issues now (they were all working fine) and it's not worth even putting in new batteries to check. I may just offer them locally for dirt cheap to see what moves. For now they are all out in a cabinet where I keep a bunch of lenses I do use regularly.
Everything on the top shelf is excess and not used anymore. The only one I can't see letting go is the XD-7.
