[OM] Re: OM-1 Problem

[Jim Couch]

Dave,

I believe that the string you are seeing is for setting the shutter 
speed. when you turn the shutter speed ring it pulls or releases the 
string to change the actual shutter speed. I don't think it is too 
difficult to fix this but it has been a long time since I have had one 
apart. If it were me, I would send the body into John for repair and a 
CLA.  I am sure that John H or someone else will chime in here and 
correct me if I am wrong in my analysis, and probably give you a couple 
of tips if you want to tackle the repair yourself.
