Reasonably well sealed, so I can't see you getting much in the way of
condensation.  Packed in plastic bag with dessicant just in case.  Ought
to
shoot a test film before much longer.

Cleaned surfaces with vinegar, as suggested on a website somewhere, as it
kills fungus (use at own risk!), and reassembled.

For the viewing lens the front of the rear element looked reasonably clean
until I breathed on it, it was obviously splodgy and dirty.  What looked
like a couple of scratches and a few other marks would not clean off. 
Would have taken a photo but have not got DSLR and no film in film SLR's
at
the moment.

Hopefully that's the end of it.
