Hank,
Thanks to information supplied by Mark Dapoz
http://olympus.dementia.org/Hardware I was able to fathom
out how to dismantle the "tilt" side of the BG2. My problem was 3 screws
going through the tilt mechanism into the flash shoe. They were loose and
bent. Now all I have to do is find replacements! At least I have found the
problem and am well on the way to fixing it. I hope this helps. If only
Olympus had used larger screws in the first place..or added locating pins!
Regards, John
Duggan, Wales, UK.
