Thanks, John, both for the detailed reply, and for confirming that senility
has not struck me as hard as I had thought (so far). Not sure which
deserves the greater thanks!

Subject: [OM] Re: OM-4Ti shutter question
There is a printed resistor board that brushes rub on. There are two pads
that must have good contact for each manual shutter speed. It's possible
that the low manual pads were dirty but then probably all the pads needed
cleaning anyway. Dirty magnet would wildly affect all speeds auto and
manual. A 3/3Ti could have erratic slow speeds due to the slow speed
governor, not the same in an electronic camera (as you pointed out).
