megan_saltzman Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hello, does anyone know where I could get an Olympus 35 RD repaired/CLA'd in the U.S.? I believe I have a sticky shutter. My spouse and I will probably make a trip to Tokyo in 2020, but I'd rather not wait that long. Thanks! MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbo Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The RD was the first compact repair I learned when I went to work for Olympus! I worked on OM-1's for a few months, then our "compact" tech quit, so someone had to take them over. That was just before they sent me to Olympus/LA for training in the "new" OM-2. Hated RD's at first -- even then, still under warranty, oil from the helicoid grease was migrating into the shutter, necessitating a total and complete disassembly for cleaning. After a few dozen, I finally decided I was going to become proficient in them. After that, they became a challenge, not a chore. I got to where I'd knock them out in less than two hours, easy. That is the only reliable solution, by the way -- complete and total disassembly, down to the blades. Any less -- flush cleaning, etc. -- and the problem is likely to reoccur. Sort of like the OM-10 sticky shutter magnet, but I digress. My Kyoritsu EF-511 tester blew up, or I might still be working on them! Anyone know someone with schematics on the EF-511? CRIS says they threw them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
