Ah yes, I remember picking up a seized Olympus OM1 in a charity shop for a fiver and walking up to collect some C41s from my local photo shop and showing my new purchase to the owner. I told I'd bought it to take apart to fix. He said "Gimme that" and then "Close your eyes" and with a whoosh rapped it down smartly on the counter. With that bang, it worked, and it's still working three years later. As they say, most good things start with a bang..... Douglas _________ Douglas Barry Bray, Co. Wicklow Republic of Ireland
