Hi Joel:

<< Anybody kill one with normal use? >>

I totaled an OM-1.  Too many manual film advances on a tripod.  The pressure
cracked the chassis from stress point: the tripod socket.  I would have been
VERY wise to have used the Winder 1 in those days, since weak tripod sockets
are a reported flaw in the design.
