Had an interesting experience with K&S Camera out in Fresno, California. He had
an eBay auction a while ago offering a CLA for the Olympus OM's in a "dutch"
auction price of $45. I decided to email him much later on, as I figured I was
in need of a CLA for my OM2n, and I also had a problem of the sync PC socket
being loose internally on the camera, causing the flash to go off arbitrarily.
He said it had to be tightened from the inside. He quoted me $65 because of the
extra repair. Got it back in 2 weeks, (and I'm all the way over in Long Island)
with new foam, beautifully clean, all adjustments done, (and a smoother
operating self timer, too). Very easy guy to deal with, and quick with email
responses. With John H.'s extensive experience, and now Ken Strauss out there,
our cameras may take even longer to become obsolete :o)
