Hiya,
My trusty old OM-10 has finally bitten the dust with a faulty winding mechanism, and with it being only an OM-10 it's cheaper just to buy another one from eBay than repair! Anyway I always wanted an OM-4Ti back in the day and I've been looking round for one of those instead seeing as I was buying a new body anyway.... Anyhoo, I've seen one for sale pretty cheap. It's cheap because it has a little bit missing - you know the little round sort of 'cap' thing with the red light on it, under where it says 'OM4Ti'? That cap is missing and it shows a sort of metal socket.
What I want to know is - what is it exactly that's missing? Is it just the little red light that flashes when the self-timer is counting down?
To be honest I may just get another OM-10 body and spend the money getting a really mint one that I know will be in tip top condition rather than a slightly duff OM-4Ti, you know? I know the '4' is a complete animal of a camera compared to the '10', but that way at least I'll know how it works!
I just wanted to pick your brains about it. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
