The frame counter is driven by the sprocket gear train and has no actual
affect on film winding or frame spacing. It needs work (which is not meant
to be done at home, though some on the list may have had success with it.)

Subject: [OM] Frame counter on OM2s/p
Hiya,
One of my OM2s/p's has started to act weird. The frame counter has stopped
working. It resets well, and then randomly wanders when I take pictures,
only to stop at twenty-something. That's not indicative of how far I am on
the film, and I can keep shooting and finish without problems.
The frames are well-alligned on the film, and there are no other problems
observed, other than that the frame-counter is far off.
Anyone knows what causes this weird thing? Is it easilly repairable? Will
it damage the camera further to keep shooting as it is?
The camera is up for a CLA this fall, though I am going on a trip to the
US (vacation - yay!) this summer, and I'd hate to leave that body at
home. Hence the questions....
Thanks in advance ;)
