When the timer times out it switches on the LED and it's light output is then

that depends on the ASA set .....
Thanks, Tim! I smell an afternoon's work here if I can find the service manual.
BTW, this is really bad timing, as I was hoping to sell off my OM-2n after
aquiring a bargain OM-3 some weeks ago. Please, somebody tell me I can do a
similar modification to an OM-4T ;-) I guess in the OM-4 and beyond they've
simply used a digital timer, which if it is a separate one - and accessible
- would make it even easier to modify.
