        Is a practice to buy a used OM4 and send it for 'repair' to correct the 
        notorious battery leaking circuit ? 
        
    
    
    You can find good working OM-4s that don't need any "repairs." I certainly 
    wouldn't buy one that I knew was malfunctioning because it's not economical 
    to replace the main circuit, but a good used -4 can be had for half the 
price 
    of a used -4T. It's a risk vs. benefit type situation. You pay your bucks 
and 
    take your chances. Also, some of the used OM-4s out there have the -4T 
    circuit already in them. I've bought two like that. If you want or need the 
    FP flash, you'll have to go ahead and spring for a genuine -4T.
