[OM] 4T hot shoe hassle---advice sought

Hi,
Seems my 4T hot shoe intermittently is a problem with failure to 
trigger the flash.  This happened a few months ago with the T28 and a 
couple weeks ago with a Viv 283 with a remote cord. Both systems worked 
flawlessly on an OM-2.
The 4T seemed OK after I lightly rubbed the central contact with an 
emory board.
I may have wiped off the OM-2 contacts 3 years ago, but that has never 
happened with it or a 2N.  Some of the 4T contacts are recessed and 
difficult to clean.  Any suggestions?  Perhaps they slightly changed 
the stainless steel used.
John has mentioned the shoe tends to come loose, but that does not 
appear to be the case here.

Mike
