While the mirror is up all this time, is the shutter open too?

Subject: [OM] OM-2n Mirror Hanging -- Help?
| Hi All,
|
| Just received a "Non-working" OM-2n from Canada (3rd deal across the
border,
| no problems). Mirror hangs "up" upon firing (seller described this
| honestly), then comes down later -- minutes later. Came with batteries
that
| seem new and tested at 1.5V. I replaced them with a set I knew to be good
| (bought just a couple weeks back and have shot less than 3 rolls of film
with
| them -- they are stored out of the OM-2S). No luck. Any ideas? Other
| suggestions to try? What is this a symptom of?
|
| Meter seems to be working O.K.
|
| This is an otherwise VERY nice body. Cosmetics are NICE. I've found one
| tiny chip off the plastic that surrounds the battery check light on the
back.
| Otherwise pretty pristine. No dings, and almost no paint scratches
| whatsoever. Small cracks in the Shoe 4... no surprise there.
|
| It was $67.66, which is a FANG considering the exchange rate... or is it?
Am
| I looking at an expensive repair? Considering the initial price, I don't
| mind the fact that most likely I will have to send it off for repair and
CLA,
| if the repair isn't outrageous.
|
| I LIKE the features of this camera! Like the "Manual -- Off -- Auto"
switch.
| Like the viewfinder display, that switches modes. I can see why this
model
| is a favorite of many.
|
| Was hoping for that fresh battery miracle... sigh.
