Hi all...
The OM10 selector ring self timer orientation is indeed 180 degrees from
the lens input. There should be definate detent stops at each of the 4
possible positions and the selector should not be able to move either way
past the 4 possible positions.
I have found a number of these OM10 switches with internal detent spring
arm broken off from the plastic selector ring, thus not providing detent
action. The repair is not difficult if one can drill and tap a 0-80 screw
thread through plastic in the correct place, and has access to approprate
small tools and hardware. I would be happy to share my repair method if
anyone wishes to contact me directly.
