Olympus OM30 (03) - a photo on Flickriver

Olympus OM30 (03)

            Olympus OM30
Japanese 35mm format SLR, c.1982

Got this OM30 for free and just tested it out.
Alas, it has a problem with the DEP mechanism which resulted in a stuck transport lever after the shutter release.

When I take off the underside cover I can manually move the long lever  to reset the DEP and wind the film further but problem keeps occurring after each shutter release.

Ahh, just found the cause, a Spring (see red arrow) which seems to have knocked itself loose from the DEP reset lever. Here seen were it is supposed to be.

Oly works again :-)
