Bringing a wedding camera back from the dead

My cousin handed me his old film camera a week before his big day. I was sure the light meter was a lost cause after a quick look. Turns out, it just had some gunk in the contacts from sitting in a drawer. Cleaned it up, and he used it to take pictures at the ceremony. Now his whole wedding party thinks I'm some kind of camera wizard.
