Hi John,
Thanks for asking (or trying to ask) the seller a question. Seems strange
that your duplicate hasn't come back at you, maybe you forgot to check the box?

At least she (the seller) now knows that the cat is out of the bag and a
third party knows about the meter problem. I think she'll be wondering if
the whole world knows by now..? <grin>
I have written to her tonight expressing my suspicion that the camera has
not been fixed and that I will be contacting the winner of the auction to
ask them about the meter operation - if it's been fixed then she has
nothing to worry about does she?

I'm getting really peeved at dishonest Oz yabe sellers as well. In the
past couple of months I have returned two faulty OM's, a mis-described Trip
35 and a sick enlarging timer. The descriptions of all these stated they
were in working order or in the case of the Trip 35 it was described as
faultless - like h*ck it was!
I guess my recent bad experiences have made my hyper about this, that's why
I've reacted to this relisting of the sick OM-4. I got suckered with it
and I don't feel like watching her do it to someone else right under my nose.
