Just an idea for who has a broken charger for parts:
You could buy a suitable charger or power supply of another make, and
connect the cable of your broken OM one to it.
The original Olympus charger is very straightforward: basically it is
an unregulated DC power supply of about 24 volts which cannot deliver
more than about 30 mAmps. Only items inside are a tiny transformer
(from wall AC output to 20 V AC) 4 diodes and a capacitor. The cable
coming out of it has only two wires going to the six-terminal plug.
I have a Minolta charger with roughly the same specs, only thing
different is the connector. But there are many other suitable ones
around, not only photographic makes but others too
Most important is that the charger or power supply does not deliver
currents higher than 30 mAmp - otherwise you should limit the current.
The smaller the better... DC open output must be above 20 Volts.
