About 6 months ago Olympus raised repair parts prices 100-500%. Oddly
enough, circuit board prices weren't affected because they were already
priced astronomically. A 4Ti circuit could be used in a 4, but the "part"
(just the circuit) would cost you maybe $250. Then add labor and price
would approach that of a good used 4T.
