A used prism from a 1, 1N, 2, 2N, 10, G can be used. Replacement is rather
straight forward once you get the top off. The clamps holding the prism down
can be spring loaded so keep track of the screws as you take them out.

Subject: [OM] Prism for OM1n
Hello all,
I have an OM1n with a slightly damaged pentaprism. It is excellent in all
other respects.
I would like to have it fixed, however I live in Indonesia and I am not
confident I can find a camera technician I trust enough to do the job for
me.
I have read the material on the Hardware Resource page, especially the
Camera Craftsman article. (Thanks to the people/person who made this
excellent resouce available). I think it may be possible for me to exchange
the prism myself if I could locate a prism or a parts camera from which I
could remove one.
Does anyone have either of these that they would be interested in selling?
I also need the basic instruction on how to remove the top cover of the OM1.
I realize that this may sound silly coming from someone who thinks he can do
something once he is inside, but the articles I have read not unreasonably
assume this ability.
I hope someone can assist. I suppose it will also be of assistance if the
warning comes, "Don't try to do it!"
Regards
Trevor Urlwin
