Phil, I *think* the winder receptacle is for the MD caps of OM-1 and OM-2
bodies, not for the 2SP, 3, or 4 bodies.  Your idea sounds good, but take
care! 

And I am *sure* that yours is an early OM-4, which does not switch off its
battery check afer 30 secs.  You can try for yourself...

Subject: [OM] OM-4 + Winder 2 Fun

Hi folks,
  My OM4 arrived this morning, and it seems to work fine (which is good).
I've bolted it on to the Winder 2 and even that seems to work fine...
except... the MD socket cap is now firmly stuck in the clip inside the
Winder. Trying to slide it out only served to make my finger very sore :-/

  Anyone know a trick to get stuck MD caps out of Winders? I'm toying with
the idea of bending a small screwdriver into a hook, then pushing the cap
out from the back, but the last thing I want to do is damage the MD cap or
the Winder.
  
  Also, does anyone know of anything I need to watch out for with the OM4? I
used an OM10 up to now, and I've heard of the "battery drain" issue on OM4s
(basically, set the shutter to "Red 1/60" or "B" before packing it away).
Are all OM4s affected by this issue, or just the early ones? This one is S/N
1104*** if that helps.

Thanks.
