Olympus OM-10 problem

Hello,

I just bought an OM-10 that appears to be in good shape. Without film
in it, it seems to work fine. When I put film in it, I can take a
picture or two then the shutter intermittently releases itself while I'm
winding the camera (every other shot, or so).

I didn't pay much for it and I'm supposed to be able to get my money
back if I return it. I was just curious if this is a common problem
and, if so, is there a simple way to fix it?

Thanks for any information.

A very simple fix - send it back.

Thanks. That's about what I figured.

1. Find high cliff.

2. Raise camera above head.

3. Hurl outward over cliff.

4. Walk away.

5. Buy used Leicaflex.

6. Use for 40 years.

7. After your death, your children will still have usable camera.
