Jon,
Since no one else seems willing to express an opinion, despite my grandmother's
admonition that fools rush in where angels fear to tread, I'll offer a
hypothesis, and an optimistic one at that. Being the master of a half dozen
OM-4s, I feel at least minimally qualified to hazard a guess, so here it is:
You may just have a couple of batteries whose oomph, while sufficient to please
the less demanding OM-10 and OM-2, is yet insufficient to awaken the
loggerheaded OM-4, it and its ilk being notoriously persnickety about their
batteries. I bet, and for your sake hope, that a shiny set of new 357s will
bring it to life.
Or maybe not. Anyway, good luck.
Walt
