How much to fix it...

[Bill Liss]

Hi, I've been looking for an Olympus OM 2 something, but came across this 4 at a good price. I'd prefer a 4 I think. However, there's only one repair place near me, and I don't have a good resource on the cost of repairs. They tried to charge me 50 dollars to replace light seals on my nikon! and only on the film door!

here's the link: OM-4 ebay auction

If you guys can maybe give me a ballpark estimate, on what a repair place would estimate, that'd be very helpful. Also, if you could recommend one for OMs.

And if you have an OM just sitting around....


Thanks a bunch,

Matthew

edit: I'm sorry about posting here, I know it's an "RF only" club, but I hear alot about OMs here.

thanks. I was hoping it would be less, although that is a decent price for an overhaul. I was hoping someone would recognize the symptoms as something minor, as the camera seems to be fairly well-kept. As it is, I'll probably pass, as there are other OM-4s on the bay for less than 200, and some with lenses.

but thanks for the link, exactly what I was looking for.
