OM-2n Counter not working.

[ajuk]

I have just replaced the light seals on my OM-2n and now the counter isn't working, does anybody have an idea why this could be?

May be the seal is too big in diameter. Then the small button in the lightseal groove, about just underneath the advance lever, will not be depressed when the back is closed.

That's correct. You need to leave a small gap in the channel. The tiny chromed tab is in the top channel, roughly 1 inch from the right.

It could be something else, but I would first start here.

Yes, I've replaced a few and if you started with one which was badly deteriorated, you would think the little silver tab should be covered. It shouldn't. I may have directions on how to replace the seals in these OM cameras that I got from my supplier of material. If that would be helpful, send me a PM and I'll try to find them. Bill Barber

I probably should have used 'A light seal Odyssey' like I did when I replaced the seals on the QL-17, but I couldn't find it at the time, once this film is done (can't remove it because I don't know what frame I'm on!) I'll have another look.
