John,
My daughter's OM-10 seems to have a somewhat similar problem. The rewind
release lever has stopped returning to the correct position automatically
after opening and closing the back. Is this also because of a broken
spring? And could it be fixed easily?
It is possible to return the release lever manually, but of course she
sometimes forgets. I have taught her always to look at the rewind crank to
see if it moves when she advances the first empty frames.

Note for OM-PC users, I'm seeing more and more PCs where the rewind button
won't come up anymore because part of the inner sprocket shaft (the spring
loaded part that takes all the stress) is made of plastic and it BREAKS! Of
course the PC sprocket is NLA so the nearest fit that will atleast allow you
to use the camera, is the sprocket from the 2S (they are all different).
Only problem with using the 2S sprocket is you have to hold the rewind
button down manually during film rewind. Atleast you can use the camera!
