Like most Gs it has an oily magnet. Remove mirror box floor (screw in back)
clean magnet with a degreaser, rebuild, that should do it. Mini may be out
anyway (that's the 1/2000 safety shutter speed) and trigger may be out too.

Subject: [OM] shutter speeds
> I just received an OM-G that came with a lens I wanted. It was advertised
> MINT LIKE NEW. It looks like only a few rolls have gone through it. But
> I noticed that the shutter curtain is a little wrinkled on the right side,
> so I took it to my camera store to have it looked at. New batteries were
> put in (SR44), and the shutter was tested (in manual mode). Here are the
> results:
>
> 1/1000=1/400
> 1/500=1/250
> 1/250=1/200
> 1/125=1/100
> 1/60=1/50
> Everything slower than 1/60 was what it should be. Why are these speeds
> slow, and is there an easy fix, i.e., one that doesn't cost more than the
