Hi Zuiks,
I the fellow at Beljan Mfg. who made the tools I mentioned about other
possible Oly items. It turns out he is alreadymaking replicas of OM-1 &
2 MD and battery covers! He says they are complete except for the chrome
finish. He hasn't found a plater who can duplicate the Oly chrome
finish. He wants them to be indistinguishable from the originals. If any
of you have an idea of someone who could duplicate the finish, let me
know and I'll pass it on.
He's says the black ones are plated before painting, but that finish can
be duplicated, so he is going to produce some black ones and start
selling them as soon as he finds the right paint. A long cherished hope
is coming to fruition! He's planning reasonable prices as well.
He's a serious Olympus fan. I told him about the List, so he may show up
Moose
