Sometimes my fellow Olympoids amaze me. Nothing personal, but I
think that the solutions from Gary and Frank don't really offer
a complete solution. Likewise, they do little to (1) recognize
other brand/model cameras that may be hanging around the house
stuffed into the center consoles of Suburbans, or (2) the need
for ALL members of the list to share in the coin/screwdriver
solution.
Therefore, if all of you would send enough of your favorite
coin(s) to equip everyone on the list (about 300, with the
digesters thrown in) to me, along with about $3 US, I'll be
happy to surface mail a complete "Olympus Coin Solution Kit"
to all the other members of the list. Any duplicate entries
(such as two members submitting Canadian nickels) will be
used to cover my considerable administrative costs.
v/r,
Larry (Total Solution) Clark
P.S. I'm surprised Gary didn't pick up on my earlier post
about the Colorado River and diving naked into the mud
after rare Olympus parts.
