If people have some mechanical skill, they may be alright, along with the
input from folks on the lsit. Most of the advice offered sounds okay. Carry
on!
Only once in the last 10 years did a customer send my his OM-1 in a
zip-lock,which was totally disassembled. He really thought the labor
charghe would be less because he done half the work for me.....

| Hi John,
| Thanks for your (and Tom's, and Chuck's) reply to my question about the
| OM-G's wind problem I had. After working the wind about 50 times ( and
| slapping the baseplate on my open hand) the problem (at least for now) is
| gone. I suspect it's a piece of dirt that's now dislodged, or something
like
| that. I have a test roll in the camera now, and after it's done I'll
remove
| the baseplate and see what I can clean/see what falls out. (Dirt I hope,
NOT
| parts!).
| As for your advice to us, John, I believe you are phrasing your replies
| perfectly, with not too much step-by-step info because then you'll sound
like
| you're endorsing someone's attempts at repair, and when something goes
sour
| he'll blame you, I'm sure! Maybe you should add a disclaimer to your
| signature, tho. We could have a contest for the disclaimer-
| " Boys and Girls, don't try this at home, I'm a professional."
| Ken, Gary, Olafo, what do you think???
| (or maybe a contest is not such a good idea!)
|
|
| Thanks
| George S.
