swop the damaged ASA dial for a good one(thanks for the help on this BTW.)
What I found under there was a pile of "liquid" which in an earlier life
used
to be foam."


I sent my 1978 vintage OM1 to Colchester Cameras about 18 months ago with
the same specific instructions. When I asked them if they had replaced this
foam they told me "The latet OM1's didn't have the prism foam".

Without taking the top off myself I have no way of checking if this is true
or not. Anyone got any comments?

This time last year I got the visiting repairer at London Camera Exchange in
Worcester to service my mid '80's OM2n. At least I could talk to the chap
personally.
