Hi all

I have a OM-2 (not S or N and s/n 459267) with a sticky meter. The

needle stays at the bottom of the scale and doesn't move. The problem

has happened in the past and a processor reset (switch to manual,

lens to B and toggle between manual and auto) has cleared it (perhaps

coincidentally). This time it stays stuck.

Any advice would be very much appreciated. If there isn't a DIY

solution, can anyone suggest a good service technician in the UK who

won't charge an absolute arm and leg? When I enquired at a camera

shop the quote was more than I can buy another secondhand body for,

and they couldn't promise a repair because spares are apparently

unavailable! Given the intermittant nature of this fault I guess the

camera probably needs a good service and clean rather than spares?

I would like to keep this actual body working if possible. It belongs

to my wife who was given it by her father and so has sentimental

value. Both of us love the OM-2 and I have used OMs both for work and

pleasure for donkey's years. Plus we have quite a large investment in

lenses and, when it works, it takes superb shots.

Many thanks in advance for your help

Paul
