My OM-1 must not be as early as I thought. The pressure plate says October
1974, and it's S/N 314xxx. It has a brown battery wire connected to the
switch. The white wire in question goes to one side of the meter.
Here's where I get lost: The meter has 3 terminals. One, a blue wire, goes
straight into the meter body. The second, a yellow wire, goes to a wiper
contact at the back of the camera, and the white wire goes to a wiper on the
front of the camera. Now, I'm not used to a single meter movement that has
three places to connect stuff. What's going on here?
