The winder may unjam a 2S, 3, 4 occasionally, but it is a temporary fix
considering how that wind design jams.
This week alone I've gotten in more than a dozen repairs from around the
country. It's safe to send things to NY now.

Subject: [OM] Jammed OM 2s
| Hello All,
|
| My favorite camera has started to jam while winding. I knew this was a
| possibility for OM 2s' and the winder will usually get it unstuck. So I
| have been keeping the winder on the body more or less all of the time.
| But now my poor Winder 2 is having a hard time getting the film advanced
| completely. As a double check I used the winder for a roll of film on
| the OM 1n last night and it never missed a beat. So I am forced to
| conclude that my beloved OM 2s needs a CLA. But I have this nagging
| fear that this may be one of the few problems that cannot be repaired on
| the 2s. I have searched the archives for references but to no avail
| (probably user error). <g>
|
| So my question is to the repair gurus is: Is my OM 2s BER?
|
| Secondly in light of the events of 9/11/01 I am a little concerned
| about sending my camera to Dallas or New York where the acknowledged
| experts are from here in Northern California. K&S of Fresno has been
| mentioned here as doing reasonable work on OM 1s, does anyone have
| experience (good or bad) with this or other shops in California for work
| needed on a 2s? I eagerly await the return of my 2s to Most Favored
| Camera status. TIA
