Hi Stuart,
I've had a OM1n repaired at the Camera Clinic, a OM2sp repaired at Gunz
(Olympus importers) and a mirror reglued at Hemut Brix and each one of
them did a good job. Email me privatly if you need the addresses or
further info

Hello All Oly list members,
I need help.
I have just bought my 7th OM body.
And have just decided I need to replace 4 of my other OM bodies.
Of course I could not sell them, so it looks like I am going to end up
with
11 OM's.
For a few months I have been looking around for an OM 1 or OM 2,
checked
out most of the camera shops. Here they sell for between $250 and
$600!!
AUD. A bit out of my league. Well on the weekend I found a OM 1n md
in a
pawn shop. It was covered in grime, and the meter was dead. they
were
asking $175AUD, but I bargained them down to $130 AUD, about $80 USD.
The
camera came with a mint condition( Once all the crud was cleaned off)
Multi
Coated 50 f1.4 so I assume it is of a fairly recent vintage. The
back
has a bit of foam rot but the internals are absolutely perfect. In
fact I
woud say the previous owner never took the lense off, not one speck of
dust
or even scratches on the mount. The slow speed shutter times are a
bit
slow, and I will need to get it refoamed. I replaced the battery and
the
meter is spot on.
Well I started with OM 10's went to OM 20's Then came the 2000 and now
the
OM 1n. I really like the feel of the OM 1, so much so that I am
going to
spend $120 getting the thing CLA'd.
So this leads to a question,
Does anyone on this list know of a service centre in Melbourne
Australia
that I can trust with the OM1?
Is this the sort of camera that any camera mechanic can service or
should I
hunt around for a service person with Oly credentials. (Pity John H
isn't
moving to Australia)
