Recently I purchased a pre-owned OM-4T which is working like a charm.
However, when I tried to put my OM Winder 2 on it, it would not fit. I
discovered that some previous owner had put a small screw in the alignment
hole on the bottom which matches the alignment pin near the grip handle on
the winder. Closer examination of the bottom plate on the camera revealed
that one of the two tripod hole screws was missing.
I'd guess someone thought they had lost a screw from the alignment hole and
punted with the missing screw. I'd also guess that the titanium bottom
plate stripped the threads off the screw, unless it also was titanium.
Two questions. 1) Could the screw in the alignment hole do any
damage? I'm inclined to just remove it.
2) where can I get a replacement screw for the tripod hole.
