All OM-1 /1N meters will move without a battery, or with a battery with
switch in off position. Turn to B open lens all the way, needle moves.
You should worry if it DIDN'T move in this way.

Subject: [OM] Strange OM1(n) behaviour?
| On the weekend I was checking over my OM1(n) for any glitches (I plan to
| send to Camtech soon so I wanted to get any possible issues identified)
when
| I found something funny. When the meter is switched off, if I turn the
| shutter speed dial towards B (about 1 or 2 speed), I can get the meter
| needle to move. It will also move again at this point if I change the
| aperture settings. This also happens WITHOUT A BATTERY. Any insight as
to
| what this is and why the needle would move even without a battery? When
it
| moves it is not a correct reading; when the meter is switched back or a
| battery replaced on it works properly.
|
| Thanks for the advice.
