After watching the video bellow I fixed 1 OM4 an 1 OM4t. I got both for $25… Took 5 minutes.
There is no better feeling than bringing an old beauty back to life with a kiss…
Now I just need to fix the hot shoe plate is bend.

I guess now I have no excuse not to look at that old OM-1 with a stuck advance I have tucked away!
