An easy test...
check the mirror to see if there are marks or deposits on the front surface
where it hits the foam buffers.
Open the back and run you finger along the metal edge of the backflap where it
contacts the foam seals in the grooves; if it feels a little sticky or gooey,
the foam needs changing.....
Both my champagne OM-4Ti's are OK, by the way.
Sincerely,
Roger Key

So, to interpret your answer: if I don't see anything strange, then
all is well?
