Thanks John, I figured it was something like that. When you say "peel up"
do you mean starting from the battery cap end - or just plain lifting up
all the leatherette.
BTW, did I ever tell you that the OM 4t you serviced for me some 18 months
ago was lost at sea. Actually Peconic Bay out on your Long Island. I was
visiting a friend who wanted pix of his hand built Cat Boat. I used his
tiny dinghy for shooting. When he came in to pick me up he misjudged and
tipped the dinghy over. The camera bag was not water proof. The OM 4t, a
winder and several lenses got salted.... sigh.
Modern Age Photo in NYC was able to process the negative film. My college
lab photo notes from decades ago say sodium chloride has no effect on film,
except to swell the emulsion which might stick. Long soaks in distilled
water deal with that. My friend now has a 3x4 foot print on his living
room wall. He tells friends it is the boat he built in ten years and the
photo cost over $1,700. The $1,500 cost of my replacing the Oly stuff on
the used market - plus the photo lab charges.
I expect to go sailing with him next weekend when I am East, still debating
whether to get a cheap one time water proof camera.
