Welcome to the list, Mattias.
It sounds like you are off to a blazing start. I have an OM1 that I
bought used and the meter ceased to function. Turned out it was a bad
previous service or repair in which wires were stuffed back into the
body improperly. If the outside of the camera was so dirty you may,
when you have a few extra SEK, want to have it cleaned, lubricated and
adjusted by a professional who is familiar with the camera. You may get
your meter back in the process. The battery power supply can also be
modified so that a silver 357 battery can be used instead of the
mercury one.
The silver nosed lenses are fine lenses, just not the very latest
thing. Of course nothing OM is the very latest thing these days, but we
love them. Enjoy it.
