Year made ?

<p>I have an Olympus OM-2n, serial number 1033612. Can anyone tell me in what year it was made ? Thanks.</p>

<p>I am guessing between fall 1981 and spring 1982. If the camera back has not been changed, you will probably find the correct production month below the film pressure plate. This is easy to remove and to reinstall by pressing it on on side to the other and lifting the spring out of its pin. There should be a white code reading something like E1X5 where the E stands for XXX (production plant?), 1 stands for 1981 (9=1979, 0=1980, 2=1982) and X for October (1=Jan, 2=Feb, Y=Nov, Z=Dec). No idea on what's the 4th digit means.</p>
