Man! That hurts just to read about it. Is there not some
government agency to prevent this type of abuse?
I can't imagine what he had sent it for. Did you end up fixing
anything John?

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.
