[OM] Various camera and lens problems

It goes wrong at the worst moments, doesn't it?  Like during one of the
most fabulous sunsets I've ever seen...

Two problems - one is that my OM-1n sometimes doesn't advance film
properly.  Every 5 or 10 rolls, after about 20 or 25 shots, it'll stop
pulling the film around.  As it happens mid-roll, surely it can't be the
way I'm loading the film?  Any thoughts, anyone?

And the other problem is that my cheapo independent 135mm lens (there's a
lesson in there somewhere...) has fallen apart - the focussing ring no
longer makes anything move.  Does that sound like a terminal problem or
might it be quite easy to make some kind of repair?

Cheers,
Roger
