it sounds like a loose spring or a few balls of a ball-bearing gone astray.
And secondly, the TC came without a front-cap. Was or is there any such
thing?
I'd imagine it would have to look like a modified body-cap, as it would have
to
cover the protruding front element too.
TIA for any answers,

Congratulation Soenke,
You get the deal of the week award. One sold recently for $275 usd in a local
camera store.
Rattle: I think this was covered a few months ago, and conclusion was rattle
was OK. Mine rattles.
Front end cap: Someone had a great idea, (which I did to mine). Take a body
cap and cut a hole in the center. Epoxy a rear lens cap to the cut out body
cap. Works great, although sorta crude looking. And yes. OLY did make an
original cap. Very hard to find. Although I am sure you could order one from
OLY.
