Clint,
Your suggestion seems to be quite likely
I've checked further & this is the situation. Using winder 2 on single shot,
the shutter doesn't fire in Auto or Program but when the OM-2s is set to
Manual/Spot the shutter does fire
Does that still fit your MD switch grounding fault suggestion?
Presume the MD switch is in the camera, & not in the Winder
So is the cure a small amount of dismantling, & a simple soldering job?
How do you get to the switch & circuit board?
Maybe if its a little tricky the quick & dirty fix is just to not use the
Winder - make slipping in the batteries when you want to use the camera that
much quicker as well!
