Re: [OM] How to fix sticking OM-2 shutter?

[Larry Knight]

Hello all;

  I just joined this group today, so I'll bet this has already been 
answered previously, but here goes anyway:

  I have an OM-2 whose shutter has recently been sticking open when a 
picture is taken. I have replaced the batteries with brand new silver 
oxides, and have measured them with a digital voltmeter (both show just 
over 1.5 volts). 

  I can of course close the shutter by pressing the magic little button 
an rotating the shutter speed ring to B. 

  So, is this an electrical problem, or a mechanical one that can be 
fixed by cleaning and lubrication? Has anyone else on this group actually 
had this exact problem on an OM-2? How did you fix it?

 Thanks in advance.
