I got an OM-3Ti in for service that looked pristine until I turned it over.
Customer had forced a big self-threading screw into the motor drive alignment
pin hole. He thought the hole was opened bottom and allowing dirt into the
camera. Well, it wasn't, but he got his wish when he forced the screw in. It
cracked the inner casting and opened it up. Looked okay from the outside, but
inside, not so good. He also put a layer of epoxy over the bottom cover screws
AND and caused hairline cracks in the main body casting (hidden under the
tripod socket) by knocking the camera while on a tripod. I almost cried.
