Thanks Jim, Bill, George, & Moose.

I agree it's important to move quickly to resolve this. Fortunately I 
just got the camera Thursday, and pretty much dropped everything to 
test it out.

To go back to my question (that I thought the OM gurus here would 
surely know). . . When a 2N is on manual, does the camera sense a 
flash connected to the PC socket, and limit the shutter to 1/60?

If not, then seeing the entire film aperture light up at 1/1000 would 
be pretty conclusive evidence of failed higher shutter speeds.

I'm sending the seller fairly calm message asking him to take the 
camera back, or fix it if he prefers. I'll let you know how it comes 
out. (Just to reassure you, I don't think he has any other OM gear up 
now.)

If anyone has other comments or insights, feel free to cc directly me 
offlist--I get the digest and sometimes feel a day out of sync with 
posts here.

cheers,

   --Ross
