Green did replace red as far as I know Walt.
Now, tell me, without any flash connected, can you see any colour in the
bottom RH area of the screen? Is there maybe an orange square of filter
material there? There is on this here 4, which is equally odd compared to a
4T, and I wonder if it is so on others.

I stuck a T Power Control 1 and T8 ring flash on an OM-4 this afternoon. I
was surprised to see in the lower right-hand side of the viewfinder a red
square with a lightning bolt where I was expecting a green square and no
lightning bolt, like in a 4T(i)! Has it been that long since I used a plain
4 with a T flash? I thought for a moment something was seriously awry, but
the little red square and lightening bolt blinked in approval of my first
exposure, then later flashed a white-on-blue "under" when I got too far away
and had shut the 90/2 down to f/11. After all, I was shooting ASA 25 film.
Got me to thinking, though. Could the color of the flash thingy be an
indication of what sort of circuit is in the camera? Huey's a
battery-eater, although he goes 8-10 months on a set of 357s. If a plain 4
has T electronics, would the flash "ready" light in the viewfinder be green
or red?
Just curious.
