Zenit E 35mm camera in reasonable condition

A stab in the dark, I'm trying to get my hands on an old Russian made Zenit E camera body if anyone has one they'd consider parting with.
It's only to sit in my collection but age appropriate condition would be a bonus.
Produced from 65 till 86 it would be an early 80s unit I'm after if there were differences (I haven't looked into them much).


EDIT:
I'm trying to replace a partial unit I have with several bits of mechanism missing from underneath and a broken shutter curtain (or a bits unit I could potentially complete my old thing). The original has "ZENIT" in English not the Russian version of writing and a little research shows me it's a 1980 model I have in pieces, apparently the first 2 numbers of the serial number indicate the year of manufacture.

I'd like to play with the old 35mm unit on a telescope. I have many other brands of 35mm bodies but the complex electronics chew batteries, the more simplistic items are more suitable to long exposure (I know what everyone is thinking "WHY?")



Thanks!
