Yes, it's that blasted oil!

Subject: [OM] OM10, erratic shutter
| Having used two OM1N's for the last seven years, I have thought of
| resurrecting an early OM10 that I have had since 1980. I understood that
| this model and vintage had a fault in its circuit board that shows up as
| longer than expected shutter speeds. This would occur for me both on auto
| and also on manual. Is there a circuit fault, or is it just oil on the
| shutter magnet as mentioned by John Hermanson in Camera Repair FAQ? Not
| having used it for 10 years I have retrieved it from the cupboard and it
| sounds as if it is behaving, I need to put a bit of film through it to
| verify. If it were oil its probably dried up by now!
|
| I would appreciate opinion on this as the local agents told me that it was
| not repairable. Resurrecting this would give me more time to look for a
4Ti.
|
| Thanks Allan.
