Doris,
A revision! I saw a 36DX today in a camera store. It was for a Minolta,
but it did not have a removable shoe like most of the other DX units. So,
my guess is that the 36DX you have will work for an OM IF it has the right
contact placement. There should be a sticker or label on the back of the
flash near the contacts stating what camera the flash will work on. If that
label is gone, then look at the contact arrangement.
I can't imagine you would damage the camera by trying it, IF the contact
arrangement is correct.

Doris,
The 36DX should do TTL if it has the Olympus adapter. The model adapter you
need is OT-1D. You can tell by the contacts on the adapter, will match the
4-series shoe contacts. Will work with OM-2n and up. Vintage? Newer than an
OM-4.

This weekend I acquired a "Sunpak 36DX Thyristor" in buying
a used OM kit. It has the neat-o Sunpak "Exorcist Head" that Zooms
along with a swinging little bounce panel (that spares one
having to carry the customary card).
A few questions...
Does this thing do OTF exposures ?
What year vintage is it ?
TIA,
