Not sure if this is related, but I have a similar problem on an OM-2n I
have. It appears that the inner ring that engages the apertrue lever
from the lens does not spring back all the way. When I got the camera
this plastic ring inside the lens mount was jammed all the way up and
would not respond to the aperture setting from the lens. The effect was
as if I had a really wide aperture, or that the ASA dial was pegged all
the way to 1600. Now that I have freed the aperture control, there is
not enough spring left to pull it back and operate normally. My
question is if this is repairable? Is there a seperate spring besides
the small cords that attach to this ring? Or is the spring broken?
