Dedicated to Preserving the OM System
	
	
	
	
	
	
		First time I've seen  melted flash sync safety switch in OM-1 .  This switch closes as the mirror goes up, then as first curtain clears the film plane, main contact closes (they may also be fried).  Without a safety switch, flash would fire as it was slipped into and out of hot shoe, and would fire as the shutter was wound.
