John,
Sorry to hear about your mother in law and you own condition. Glad to hear the
latter has greatly improved though.

Onderwerp: Re: [OM] Finally, some darkroom time (couple of OM B&W prints)
It is great to hear such enthusiasm regarding film equipment. I can
always count on you and Ken for this. Hopefully I will get my 3Ti up
and running. It needed 2 big things: a new shutter assembly (which I
got in an Olympus bulk parts purchase) AND a circuit board (which cost
$200 from Lutons in the UK, Olympus USA completely out of stock and
discontinued). The shutter is in, next step is circuit board.
BTW, the last 6 weeks or so have been very hectic. My mother in law of
96 passed away. She lived a few miles from here and had a 24 hour live
in caregiver. So then came contacting family, funeral plans, funeral,
family visiting, cleaning out her house, all the while feeling very odd
inside like I was on the edge of more heart problems. The timing of the
chest pains came at the best time (if there is ANY "best time" for such
a thing).
