Oh, I forgot to mention: the mirror is in the 'down' position. No, unfortunately
it isn't simply 'locked' in the way it would be when the batteries are
weak/dead. Even toggling between the different measuring-modes with the shutter
set to mechanical 1/60th or B didn't do the trick in this case. To me it feels
more like a mechanical problem, which nevertheless might possibly be solved in a
simple way.

Hey that would have been a good deal for the lens and winder alone! Brilliant
with an OM-4 to boot! And you don't feel a bit ashamed? ;-)
All the best and happy holidays as well,
