<< I acquired an OM-2 with a Zuiko 50mm/f1.4 lens for $102 on E-Bay about
one month ago. When I turn the camera on to manual the meter is
non-responsive. I have to set it to auto and then move it to manual for
the meter to function in manual. Is this some idiosyncratic occurrence
on this particular unit or is it an occurrence on all OM-2's? And if it
is just on my unit is this something I should worry about fixing anytime
soon? I just got a roll of film back and the exposures seemed fine most
of the time except for the ones used with the T-32 flash unit which came
out underexposed regardles of the aperture I used. Yes, I do have the
shoe#3 on the OM-2 to use the T-32 in TTL mode. I would appreciate any
feedback. >>

You have detected things that were not revealed by the seller.  The seller 
offered a very worn but working camera.  You now face a major overhaul of the 
body (not to mention the lens) just to get it working properly.  You can 
approach the seller that the item was misrepresented or you can live with the 
problems or pay for an overhaul.  The latter will end up costing you more 
than if you had purchased a much better condition camera.
