[OM] OM40

Hi all,

I have seen an OM40 in a local secondhand store, it's a bit of a beater
with dings in the bottom plate & nasty brassing around the strap lugs. 

shutter 'sounds' ok as far as manual goes & auto seems to behave
similarly to my OM10. back foam looks like it's reasonably new.

film advance is smooth until the last 30-40 degrees of travel, than
some resistance is felt. takeup clutch seems a little loose but not
really any worse than my 10 (looking for information on this was how I
found the list!). 

it comes with  a makinon 28mm/2.8 lens for AUD120 (about US $60 given
the really dismal exchange rates!).

I am a little concerned about the film advance, this is the first
working OM40 I have seen.  does anybody have any suggestions regarding
this body?

thanks
