Well, fortunately (maybe unfortunately...) the mirror isn't locked up in
this body. The shutter curtain does NOT show the metering pattern so I
assume its NOT cocked at the moment. I have the OM-2 service manual in PDF,
but for all these problems it says to go to the OM-1 manual which I don't
have.
I see a gear that looks like it's not engaged properly, but I'm probably
going to leave this for someone qualified to do the repair.
Thanks to everyone...
Mike
