I've never seen anything written to indicate that the 4T isn't reliable.
Is this a fair assessment in your experience (recongizing no one knows

OM-3 is very nice but it's circuit board is as complicated as an OM-4
board and not available. 4t board is still available, but @ $200 plus
labor to put it in, it's not looking very economical.  High serial
number OM-2 or (any) 2N are still more serviceable imo.
