Guys
A while back I purchased an OM2 spot program body that worked for a while then just locked up solid, the film advance won't move nor will the shutter fire and from what I can make of things it's uneconomic to have it repaired. (I've been quoted between £75 and £90 admittedly for full repair and service).
Now I've just laid my paws on another that works but is not in as good a cosmetic condition as the original, I've swapped baseplates over and the rear door won't be a problem. I'm just wondering how big a job swapping the tops over is going to be and if it's a job I can actually do myself?
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Pete
