You are welcome. A (growing) problem with oldest OM-1 bodies is the
plastic meter frame. This is one large U shaped piece that holds the
eyepiece glass, cds cells, meter circuit, and meter movement. Metal
screws going into plastic causes the plastic to crack. After a while,
there's nothing to hold the spring loaded meter housing in place.
Newer production (and all 1N) split this frame into 3 separate pieces
(and a different type of plastic). Longer lasting and easier to replace.
