Hi John,
I use crazyglue to "glue" one brush back on the switch. It
seems to work on all modes now. The power check is somewhat
loose. But, it works! I am amazed at how old this thing is
and it still works: metering, shutter speed, ... It will
keep me occupied awhile until I can find an "affordable"
om-4t.
