Chuck,
The Om2S and OM4's use a sensitive gate, high voltage thyristor
switch, so can easily withstand the <330V on the flash contacts (typ
more like 200V for m,any flashes) . The Om1/2 uses mechanical switch
with test insulation of 500V according to service manual. The Om2N uses
mechanical contact isolated by 1N4004 (400V ) diode. <snip>

Thanks, Tim. That's really good to know. I think I'm going to hold my
breath and try the Vivitar 283 (250 volts) on one of the OM-2s's. Can I
assume that the OM-10, OM-G and OM-PC(40) will survive as well?
