Servicing an Olympus OM-1

I've been thinking of getting my old beastie back up and running with the occasional roll. AFAICT everything still works, but as my remaining Olympus is still as original it could do with some tlc.

Michael Spencer in Derbyshire used to be the go-to guy back in the day. He did a very well regarded service, sorting the old light seals and converting the meter to work accurately with modern batteries.

Sadly Michael has retired so...is there anyone else doing similar work out there that you could recommend?

Cheers,

Nic.
 
The light seals are a easy job to do as long as you wet the glue and slot so you can get them in before they stick, and the battery is just a case of soldering one diode in series.

APM camera repairs in Newcastle upom Tyne..they call the chap Allan...I believe he worked for Olympus in his younger days, before setting up his own repair business..He's a bit of a whizz with the older manual gear...
