Walt,
You're not missing anything. You definitely need the
Shoe 4 for an OM-1n. That's what I've got and it works
just fine.
Since the OM-1n is manual (you probably know the OM-1n
better than I do, since I usually use it as a backup
to my OM-2n), it's my understanding that the only
thing that the extra contact that Shoe 4 provides you
is the flash ready/confirmation light in the
viewfinder.
No epoxy should be needed.
Why do you have so much stuff you don't use? You're a
Zuikoholic, that's why. You are probably also a medium
and large format film-oholic also.
I currently only aspire to be as good an-oholic as you
when I grow up. My only medium format cameras are a
couple of rebuilt Agfa folders (1 - 6x6, 1 - 6x9) and
a Holga). I haven't grown up to large format yet.
The Shoe 4's are in pretty short supply, so you could
probably get a fair price for them ($40 - $50, maybe
higher, on yabe), but then again, I can't imagine how
you'd do without them.

BTW Walt, you spotted anymore of those fine looking
dolphins like the one you photographed last year?
