I just fanged a winder 2 for AUS $30 (approx US $17) for my OM-10. The 
other winder had given the ghost. I know the new one works (have tried it on a
couple of bodies) but now for some reason it wont work on my OM-10. Does
anyone have info on what the electronics in the OM-10 should be like so I
can check mine and make sure that I don't have any loose wires inside my
OM-10's body. I found the camera so much easier with the winder working for
the type of images that I like to take.
Thanks Adam

I just checked my winder 2 on an OM10 (no film in :-< ) and it worked OK.  
According to the version of Shipman I have, MD1 does not work with OM10, 
but Winder 2's had not been invented when this edition was written, so I don't 
know what he might have later written. Yes, I also find winders make a nice 
camera-handle at times, even if I don't actually use the winder feature. 
Especially with a heavy lens like a 100/2. I also feel my hand-hold is more 
secure and less likely to drop the valuable handful; the winder gives good grip.

BTW, I really enjoyed those shots you just posted.

Afterthought; perhaps your winder 1 is OK after all and the fault is in the 
OM10 circuit?
