Hi,
I have an Olympus OM10 camera.
Cutting long story short, I lost the pressure plate in the door of the camera and now the films are all coming out blurry.
I bought another film door with the pressure plate intact from eBay.
However, struggling to work out how to either transfer the pressure plate to my camera or change the door completely. I have tried Googling and looking YouTube.

Is anyone able to explain how to do this please?
Thanks
 
Have you taken a real close look at the hinge? In general at the more versatile SLRs, with exchangable doors, the bolt in the hinge is telescopic and spring loaded. At my Canons there is a protruding screw at such bolt assembly by which one can retract the bolt and by this take apart the hinge. At the models without such telescopic bolt one has to take off body caps to drive out the bolt from the hinge. I guess this likely applies on Olympus cameras too.

How about downloading the service manual and going to page C-3?
