When you tighten the nut, the lever should move freely after winding the
self timer. Often, when the ST parts fall off, the small brass washer that
sits on the post gets lost. From the ST out the parts list goes like this:
washer, ST lever, spring, cap, trim plate.
The tab on the back of the ST lever also holds the mechanism in its start
position. When the lever falls off, the mechanism unwinds inside the
camera, and after rebuilding, the self timer won't work anymore.

Subject: [OM] self timer lever on OM-2n
| Can someone familiar with the mechanical parts of the OM-2n self timer
lever
| comment on the following:
|
| The screw keeps coming loose, and I am wondering if it would be a good
idea
| to loc-tite the screw in place??? or pliobond??? it keeps coming loose,
and
| i'd like to make it stay.
|
| Also, how many parts are there that come off the body? I've noticed the
| screw with the two holes and the long lever that you turn to set the
timer.
| Should there be anything else (such as a washer) in there that i may be
| missing?
|
| Any ideas would help.
