[OM] Jammed OM 2s

Hello All,

My favorite camera has started to jam while winding.  I knew this was a
possibility for OM 2s' and the winder will usually get it unstuck.  So I
have been keeping the winder on the body more or less all of the time.
But now my poor Winder 2 is having a hard time getting the film advanced
completely.  As a double check I used the winder for a roll of film on
the OM 1n last night and it never missed a beat.  So I am forced to
conclude that my beloved OM 2s needs a CLA.  But I have this nagging
fear that this may be one of the few problems that cannot be repaired on
the 2s.  I have searched the archives for references but to no avail
(probably user error). <g>

    So my question is to the repair gurus is:  Is my OM 2s BER?

    Secondly in light of the events of 9/11/01 I am a little concerned
about sending my camera to Dallas or New York where the acknowledged
experts are from here in Northern California.  K&S of Fresno has been
mentioned here as doing reasonable work on OM 1s, does anyone have
experience (good or bad) with this or other shops in California for work
needed on a 2s?  I eagerly await the return of my 2s to Most Favored
Camera status.  TIA
