David,
In addition to Gord's good advice, I would also take in my own set of 357s
and fire off the range of shutter speeds in manual mode and then ask if
they have a winder and make sure it works with a winder. If you don't get
some kind of period in which a return is possible, then I would walk.
I think it is very important to make sure the spot metering works. I got an
OM-4T from KEH once that had to go back because it just didn't meter. An
OM-4 can work fine in both auto and manual mode but the spot metering not
work. In a once over, even the KEH guys can miss stuff like that.
The OM-4 is a great camera. I hope this one works out for you.
