First: hope you're recovering and at best health.
Second: As Roger K already pointed out, the champagne 4T looses it's
paint quite easily. If you're a collector that's important, and you
will have to look hard to find a really mint one. However, if you
plan mainly to use it, the champagne 4T might look a beater but
perform beautifully. You should calculate in the price to get a basic
CLA (in Sweden US$ 50) which means the main things like meter and
shutter are adjusted and shutter-ring lubricated, and maybe some
basic cleaning. It's a wonderful camera, and prepare to pay (if fair)
around US$300-350 for it. If you get it cheaper, GO...

I have not been on the list for a while as I suffered a heart attack
in July and only now I am getting back to normal. I suppose I will
never be the same as before.
I have an opportunity to get a fairly used champagne OM 4t from a
local store. It has got a fairly worn paint on the top and bottom
titanium covers but no dents or missing covers and comes with a
years guarantee. Does
anyone on the list know if paint on the titanium can be refurbished
and if so how do you take the top cover off? Also is there any
checks I can perform
to check its operation. I guess being an 4t it would have the later
circuitry so should not suffer from battery drain problems.
