Foam replacment is a relatively simple task if one
uses the right tools and has a steady hand; however
when the foam needs replacing the camera could usually
also use a recalibration and general CLA after all it
probably is 10-30 years old at this time and hasn't
ever had a stripdown probably. Such a stripdown will
cost $110-140 for an OM-1/2 and $140-170 for and
OM-2s,3,4. Usually with a 6 mo warranty and a camera
returned to near new or as new function.

Is foam replacement something readily accomplished
by the typical OM
owner, or is it more of a job for a trained
professional camera repair
technician?
(It seems simple enough, but I've lost count of how
many do-it-myself
nightmares started out as seemingly simple
projects.)
