Strange MZ-50 mirror problem... cheaper to repair or buy a new body?

So i got a pentax mz-50 for free the other day. It has a macro lens which is sweet because I wanna do a bit of macro, but didnt wanna buy a macro lens for my other camera.

however the mirror is locked up. This camera does NOT have a mirror lock up function. If I take the lens off I can push the mirror back down but it springs back to the locked up position

How much you reckon it'll cost to fix that, if possible?

Or would it be cheaper to buy another mz-50 or another cheap pentax body to fit this lens. I just want to get some sweet ass macro of my brothers frog to be honest. Other than that I'm not sure i'll be doing any other macro... but who knows I might love it

cheers
