Thanks to all who replied to my questions.

No, I didn't have any film in either camera.  That explains that question, 
but I'm still 
having trouble with the flash problem on my OM-2.  So, I'll explain it again, 
and 
hopefully a little better this time:

I am using both the T20 and a Honeywell Auto Strobonar 110A.  Both will come 
to a 
full charge off the camera (little orange light), but they don't charge when 
on the FIX 
shoe.  If I listen, it seems as though they start to recycle as the pitch (?) 
increases, 
but they seem to get hung up.  I also have a cord which plugs into the side 
of the 
OM-2 near the mount (sorry, I don't know the names) and goes to the Honeywell 
flash.  It won't reach full charge in this setup either.  I know, it sounds 
like an internal 
problem.  Does that mean I need to send it off? Also, it there a problem with 
the FIX 
shoe on an OM-2 (it's the old OM-2 w/ center weighted metering)?  If it is 
okay, how 
come the camera looks like this (top view w/out hot shoe)?:
            
                O           as opposed to my OM-2n:  O
                 '                                      ' '
The "O" is where the shoe screws in and the " ' " is the hole for the pins 
protruding 
from the shoe.  Again, the FIX shoe has no pin, other than the screw to 
attach to the 
mount, protruding from the bottom.

thanks again everybody
--p.j.
