Olympus OM-10 problem?

The cover goes into a little slot inside the winder. Open the battery chamber and you should see it.

Right you are! Too bad its not more obvious. I rather liked the OM-2n I had and I'd have kept it save being unable to rewind the film. I might watch for another.

I think the Olympus winder, which fits either, is not really comfortable, certainly compared to the winders for the Pentax MX and ME-Super. Those winders have the shutter release at the top front of the grip, slightly angled, which makes vertical shooting much easier. Also the Pentax winders have a threaded recess for the winder socket on the camera, which the Olympus Winder 2 lacks. A little thing, but the OM-2n I bought came with a winder, but minus the cap for the body. How could most owners keep up with a little disk, about the size of a battery chamber cover?

BTW, the RMA and prepaid shipping label for the OM-2n finally arrived. Off it goes!

Just an update. I shipped off the OM-2. One week after the tracking indicated that it had arrived I called the shop (which shall remain unnamed) and asked "Where's my refund?" The told me that they didn't have my email! But it, and my phone number, and of course my home address was on the invoice they emailed me! The refund was finally credited to my charge card, but no apologies from the seller. BTW, this is a brick and motar shop in the northeast US of many years standing. Never again will I order from them.
