Well done Sam. I should have been terrified to take the top off.
Did you hammer out the dent, or have you left it as a special mark
for you to recognise your camera by?
The professional rate would have been just a bit less than £100... :>)

Well, I summoned up the courage to take the top off my OM1 yesterday
to look at the film counter return problem.
.... and really there was no problem at all, other than the counter
dial was a bit sticky. I just wound it back and forward with my
finger a few times, reseated the large circlip that holds it in
place and it worked perfectly.
The only complication was that after putting it all back together I
found the compression spring for the rear cover catch rolling across
the desk.... woops! still can't work out how it escaped without me
seeing it, but it gave me some extra practice of getting the top off.
Of course I didn't have anything like the proper tools for
unscrewing things, so I'm indebted to you all for the tips,
especially Chuck Norcutt who sent me a amalgam of what appeared to
be every post related to the subject. My best bit of improvisation
being to use the rubber foot of my monopod to unscrew the rewind
level trim.
I'm now tempted to find something to spend the money on that I saved
by not having this job done professionally, but I think my CFO might
have an opinion on that.
