Paul,
Why, specifically, does the cap need to be held on with tape? Are the two
little bayonet tabs on the back of the cap gone completely, or are they
just spread a bit away from the cap's flange? If they're just loose, some
judicial tapping with a small punch (thin metal here; be VERY CAREFUL!!!)
should tighten them up.
On the other hand, if the tabs are just completely gone so that the cap
falls out of the hole of its own accord, you obviously need a new cap.
Can't help you there.
Regards,
Mahlon
BTW, has any one else besides me taken a close look one of these caps, and
marveled at the amount of machining required for just this one part? It
looks like Olympus machined each one out of bar stock! Talk about
overkill!

Subject: [OM] Motor Drive Socket Cap
Can anyone tell me where I can obtain a replacement Motor Drive Socket
Cap for an OM-2? Mine has to be held on with tape. Has been that way
since I bought the camera.
