HELP!

Any old Canon users out there?? ( I mean old cameras, not you!!)

I currently possess a Canon AE-1 with several lenses. I decided to search
for a fully MANUAL Canon body that would accept my current lenses.
I have been calling, surfing and reading ads about older Canon cameras.
I am totally confused on what model would be sufficient for my needs.
There is the A1, F1, F1-N, FT, FTB, EF, etc. There seems to be a major price
difference between F1 and the rest of the models. Anyone have any
recommendations for me. So far I have seen the following prices through the
various media i have been searching:

F1 - $450
A1 - $280 - $350
FTB - $130 - $225
FT - $149 - $199
EF - $175 - $299

I happen to know the guy who is selling the FTB for $130. Is that camera
model adequate?
I would appreciate any info so I can make an intelligent decision.

Thanks,
