If I'm in the wrong forum. Let me know.

Just inherited a 725. The front door handles turn but the tongue stays retracted.

Any thoughts, clues or things I should check before I start searching for replacement latches?

If it turns out the spring is shot in each door handle, perhaps you can use M-37 door handles as a replacement, they are very similar.

Yes, try to get inside the inner door panel and spray WD40 or lube of your choice in there. There isn't much stopping the rain water going down the window in to the regulator or handle mechanisms.

Check www.M715zone.com as well. Here is a pic of mine.
