There are Nikon bodies with manual wind available in the $20-40 range, although you rightly point out that buying a camera for a declining film may not make sense.
Ah, but there are other positive reasons to purchase manual wind camera bodies, since they will last much longer than electric wind. All cameras with built-in motors will eventually fail, and parts will no longer be available. We can still use manual-wind cameras from the 1920's and 1930's just fine. I have a Leica III from the 1930's that winds just as good as new.
