Just received my OM1 back from service.
Very very happy and want to recommend this guy.

Stripped the camera, clean and service.
Modified battery box and meter circuit board to operate on SR44 Battery (also supplied)
Adjust meter and shutter speeds
Replace mirror buffers and prism foam ( I'd already re-foamed the door)
£45 plus post. (£50 if he needs to re-foam the door)

Kept in touch by phone, can't recommend him highly enough.
 
..and would be a recommended camera if you ever decide to sell the Om1 in market place.
 
Used the same guy in the past, second the recommendation, great service and work. Fixed a dragging shutter, modified to accept SR44 battery and replaced the prism with a cleaner one.

Interesting - what other stuff does he do?

According to his web it's Pentax and Nikon as well.
Just emailed him to see if he'll service my Spotmatic.
 
Yep. Did my Spotty as well. It also had duff meter. He sorted it.

Does he do lenses?

Yep. Investigated the 35-70 but concluded it wasn't worth pursuing. Cleaned the blades on my Takumar 50mm f2.
Drop him an email or phone him. Nice guy to deal with.
 
Resurrecting this thread to report that sadly Mike passed away last year.
Top bloke and a real craftsman.
