Many Canon rangefinders used a metal shutter curtain which is prone to developing wrinkles. How serious is the problem, and is this a reason to hesitate before purchasing?

CORRECTION: I inadvertently swapped the nomenclature of the two sizes of mercury batteries. The more common battery is the PX625, and is used in the Nikkormat and Canon FTb. The Konica Autoreflex uses the PX675, which is identical in size and shape to the common LR44 or SR76. My apologies for the confusion.
UPDATE: Given the paucity of information available on this SLR series, I've collected below links to the best web resources I can find. The one I mention specifically in the video is the best of the bunch and is given first:
