I'm loathe to mention these, but how about:
A T-45 battery, gutted and modified by Olympus to accept AA batteries.
(Yep - got it!)
A T-32 w/Motor Drive, modified for NASA so that:
1) the flash doesn't charge until the Motor Drive is being held,
2) the camera won't fire until the flash is charged.
(The flash's output is only equivalent to a T-20, though.)
(Picked it up from a local dealer, who unfortunately broke off
the switch on the Motor Drive trying to figure it out....)
An OM-4 who's covers have been stripped of paint, then had the
titanium "flared" with a torch so it "rainbowed".
(Don't have it, but did the mechanical work for an Olympus Rep. -
and no, I'm not doing any more!)
An OM-2 that runs on solar power, with the cell attached via the
hot shoe - no, never seen it, but heard about from a fellow
tech who got hired by National Geographic.
An OM-2s modified to work with a Motor Drive 2 to rewind -
sorry, it doesn't exist - I got half-way through the modification
and ran into some logistical roadblocks and put it aside until I
had more time. That was about five years ago....
An XA with a motor winder - another fantasy that never happened!
