listed as EX (meter inoperable) for $69. it is EX+ if you ask me. battery compartment is clean-as-new. i reckon it only needs a battery. loaded a roll on bw400cn for testing. zuiko 50/1.8 is aboard.

Unfortunately, if KEH says the meter is inop, it probably is.
I got to use an OM1 back in the 70s for a bit, in my photography class, and you're right, it is a jewel. I think the silver ones are more jewel like than the black, the OM2s isn't nearly as. But when I take the 2s into NYC I get comments.

The OM-1 is the kind of camera that gets under your skin. I'd never part with mine (the current one I've had for 20 years, its predecessor for a decade). Mine is now needing a CLA, with sticky and blotched mirror, so I might get around to that some day. I've found that if it's taken out and given a bit of exercise the sticky mirror sorts itself out within a couple of shots anyway.
