I have an OM-1n that I picked up a few years ago.  I am just now starting to 
use it seriously and have a couple of questions about keeping it alive.  
Pictures taken with the camera look OK so I am trying to do preventative 
maintenance at this point.

I have mushy light seals and have found info in the archive about removing 
and replacing these as well as the mirror foam.

I have inspected the shutter and do not see any pinholes.  Does the shutter 
deteriorate mostly due to use or will it deteriorate over time no matter 
what?  Is there any thing that can be done to maximize the shutter's life?

Is it worth sending the camera out for a general overhaul?  If so what would 
this include?

Would anyone care to take a guess as to the life expectancy of a 25yr old 
OM-1n that will be used but not abused?
