Olympus XA family - schematics?

[walliswizard]

In a nutshell, I managed to pick up an Olympus XA from a flea market in Switzerland last week. Seems to work fine.

There is a broken bit off the base, and it would be nice to repair it by picking up a cheap spares or repair camera and swapping out the base.

The question is, is the base of the XA1/2/3/4 transferrable to the XA version that I have, or is it designed only for that model?

Can't find a schematic for anything other than the XA (I have that schematic) so I can't tell.

Anybody advise?

Ta m'lovelies!

What do you mean by "schematic"? A exploded-view drawing?

Hi

The base is different.
At least the XA and XA2 have different functions on he switch at the bottom.

Only the XA bottom cover will fit the XA.
