This looks like an earlier version with the narrower knobs on the baseboard, which should make no difference at all. Richard Ritter, on this forum, had a hand in designing and building these cameras and will be able to fix anything that goes wrong. Looks like you'll need a new leather carrying handle, a minor point.
Of course check it for wear and abuse, but the Zone VI is a rugged, capable camera (mine has paid for itself many times over).
