The winder on my OM-1 stuffed up in Antarctica. It required 2 strokes
instead of one to work. Think it was the cold (this was also repaired at the
same time when I got the foam replaced).
2SP failed when I was photographing Hale-Bopp. But on a Keh scale, it was
worse than ugly. Got it for $200, and it lasted therough the trip south and
some time here, so I was happy. Extatic now it's fixed.
