I didn't think there were any batteries in that meter. Thanks.

For info the Leicameter. No battery required; I used to use one on my M4.

Batteries for the meter are nigh impossible to get, these days, as they were
mercury batteries.
That probably explains why it does not work. There are replacements, Wien
air cells, etc., but you'd have to buy one to test the meter.
As for price ... ???

Hi. A friend of mine knows a friend who knows a person who has a nice------
M3 single throw, with case, 50/2 dual range lens and MC meter attached
and a case left to her by her late husband. I think he is was the
original owner. Through that chain, it found me as the only person she
knows who is familiar with Leica, but my experience is R based, not M
based. I checked it out and it seems to be in fine, make that very fine
condition. I could not figure out the lightmeter, but it did respond to
light. It was really fun handling such a nice piece of gear. At any
rate, the second person in the chain said he would help the first person
in the chain sell it, but I have no idea what to say it is worth other
than what I have seen on E-bay. My guess is around $90-$1000 for the
body, $600 for the lens as it lacks the goggles, maybe $85 for the meter
and maybe $30 for the case? Am I way off base or does this sound
reasonable?
