aside from lacking the bearings, if its the collar thats worn, is this the
same part as used in other OM bodies?

Reason I am asking is that I have been staring at that sorry looking oM 3
for months resisting the thought of buying it. I did try to work it and the
multi spot meter seems to work and at a price of Usd 80 it seems tempting.
But do I need one? No.....do I like one? Honestly yes.. Oh this is not
healthy! I actually wish it get sold but over here no one is interested in
OM.

Now just in case I buy this battle scarred OM 3, do you hve even a second
hand top cover, something with a bit more paint and no dent?

Regards

Titoy
