The hard part is prying up the asa knob cover plate without damaging it.
There is a screw underneath the plate which must be removed to get the knob
off. Try softening up the glue underneath the plate with some lighter
fluid. Then slip the tip of a new razor blade or xacto 11 under the edge of
the plate.

Subject: [OM] OM 40 help?
| Just a quick note of thanks.
|
| Some list members may recall my cry for help with a broken top plate on an
| OM40 that belongs to my ten year old son.
|
| I had a few off list replies to my request, but I would particularly like
to
| thank the one member who not only replied, but sent me TWO of these free
of
| charge all the way from America to the UK.
|
| You know who you are, I am not naming you for fear of you being besieged
| with similar requests but you know how grateful I am.
|
| All I need now is the courage to attempt the replacement operation!
|
| ( Any tips anyone?)
|
| Steve
