Compensation dials were made higher due to factory fix to prevent asa
from shifting when compensation is turned. To compensate for the higher
dial, longer rewind shaft needed, along with longer rewind shaft bushing
and asa comp circuit brushes with longer tabs to interlock into them. I
converted a few original OM-4s to the higher dial and they took about
$50 in parts to complete.
