It is glued in with a thin bead of brown rubber cement like "Goo" (available
at www.walthers.com) or Pliobond. The asa 100 position is with the tab
locked into the first 'click' just below the 3:00 position.

Subject: [OM] OM1-MD light meter cover fell off
> Hi All!

> I am new to this list, but an Olympus OM user since the 70s in the
previous
> decade.
> Please excuse me if I haven't grasped the netiquette of this list yet, or
> any language mistakes because I am from Sweden.
>
> ** My problem concerns my OM1-MD.
> The cover of the light meter, a round disc carrying the film speed
numbers,
> suddenly fell off.
> By an incredible stroke of luck I was able to find it again, wedged edge
> down between two stones on the street paving, but not until the third time
> that I retraced my steps past the last photo points of my walk.
>
> Two narrow stripes of duct tape provided a temporary repair, but now I
> cannot figure out how it should be reapplied permanently. It seems as if
it
> was simply glued to inner edge of the knurled ring of the light meter, but
I
> am not sure.
> I see there is a slight recess on the underside of the disc, which must
> correspond to a similarly shaped part of the light meter in order to
> register the proper speed setting. Else there are no indications on the
> periphery of the cover disc.

> I'd like to know if this has this occurred to someone else, and how it was

> Else, you others be aware that this can happen. I do not know if the disc
> can be replaced if lost, but I am certainly glad I managed to find mine
when
