Thanks for commenting. I doubt I will ever not check again, but an
insurance policy
is never a bad idea. Doohicky sounds good to me. This OM2 has been
through thick and thin and not once has malfunctioned--still hasn't,
but the operator did. Double drat for not checking, timing could not
have been worse. Any of the other OM cams I have would have been fine.

Only the 2N (and 1N) have constant X sync at the hot shoe regardless of
sync switch position, and that is with any flash, not just Ts. There's
a diode in the flash circuit that allows this, though it does prevent
some studio flashes from firing.
Olympus Service made up a small plastic "doohickey" that snaps in
behind
the sync switch. It was created for use on UPI ad National Geographic
cameras. It holds the switch at X and prevents accidental turning. I
have some of those.
