Yes it does need to be modified. If you acqure an OM-1n it no doubt will
need new foam light seals, etc. You should send it to one of the fine OLY
service companies for CLA. They will calibrate the meter to the new battery
voltage, clean and restore all areas possible and install new light seals and
mirror foam cushions. All-in-all well worth it.
