Thank you!
I've cut way back on what I fix, but I still do all OM bodies. I'm
hoping to finish the 3Ti that needed a new shutter (part had through
major Olympus part "dump") and new circuit (purchased through Luton
Camera in UK). Also repairing OM lenses. LOTS of replacement elements
in stock.
As far as Olympus factory OM service goes, the last tech who had any
kind of OM training is or has recently retired. They only repair black
4Ti as those are probably the only bodies in stock they can swap repairs
with.
No more RFs (RC, RD, SP etc.) for me. RD especially a loss leader as it
took 3+ hours to do an oily shutter rebuild and no one wanted to pay for
it. I get home from 8 hours of lens work and don't want loss leaders
waiting for me. I am way behind, but shelves are full of OM work.
I also still do Pen F SLRs and XA.
