Hi all,
I have an Olympus OM-2n with a motor drive and I looking for replacement screws for the motor drive, specifically those tine screws that hold the bottom part and the upper part together. It has 4 screw holes, but I am missing 3 of them. It can be used with right now, but with care so the whole thing does not come apart. Any idea where I can find them? |

Here are pictures of the missing screws. Notice the only one remaining on the first picture, right side.

These are to a standard Japanese thread form. If you have a camera repair shop/man near you, pay them a visit and ask to rummage through their junk draws. You will soon find some suitable screws. Otherwise go and buy a junk Japanese 35mm camera of some description and strip out the screws - you will soon find some suitable screws to hold the drive together. |

In looking at your last photo, I see that the strap eyelet is missing and you won't be able to thread new screws into the case without this part as it provides a threaded cleat for attaching the screws (metric 2mm).
The screws along the back of the case have a threaded hole to screw into... |
