Nice find, it is a cool item to have. I would recommend a full CLA to keep it working for years to come.
As for lens there were two lens that were standards: One is the fairly common Takumar 55mm f2.2 and the other is the very rare Takumar 55mm f1.8

Is this the 55mm 1.8 you are talking about? I managed to pick this up today for $8.

That looks like a later version, the Super, but before the SMC.

That's great!

I bought my original AP with issues and was confident it was going to be made right by Eric.
