Devon asked:
I have an OM-2n that I recently picked up. The groove on the battery
cover has worn so that I cannot open it with the usual coin or washer
edge. Any hints on how I can open this puppy?
----------------------------------------------
I would try cutting an appropriately sized disk of the stickiest rubber
you can find. Apply disk to cover and apply thumb to disk with pressure
and twisting action.
Alternatively, you may just be able to remove the bottom cover to get
access to both sides of the cover for gripping it with some tool or
drilling holes through it for an improvised spanner. I think the
battery cover threads into the bottom cover as opposed to the battery
box but I'm not sure about that.
If that doesn't work (and since the cover is toast already) I would glue
on a lever and then unscrew it.
Replace with new cover from John or Clint or Beljan.
