[OM] OM reliability

OMs seem to be like Volkswagens of 20 years ago -- they have chronic
electrical problems.

My OM-2 -- like those of many users on this list -- had a long-term
"meter needle bobble." My OM-4T had serious metering problems that
Olympus was never able to fix -- until they replaced the camera.

If you buy a used OM -- especially the OM-4 -- you should check it very
carefully for bad behavior, especially wrong exposures and erratic
behavior of the memory.
