Make sure that you are using 357 or SR-44 silver batteries, not lithium or
alkaline which can cause lock-up.

Hi people,

I have an OM4T that I bought second hand (it was well used - lots of
brassing etc) and although it seemed fine when I bouhght it,
intermittantly the shutter (or something) seems to jam ie I have it set
on auto, there should be enough light from daylight or flash and yet
the shutter jams (open? - can't see through viewfinder) - some seconds
later it will finish its motion - sometimes this seems to be helped by
pointing the camera at a strong light source.  This happens
infrequently enough that I can't be sure what is happening.

Any suggestions for checking mechanisms etc?

Thanks,

Phil.
