EM1 Preemptive Repair

@Tom - Thanks for sharing your experiences. The camera isn't coming with a neck strap installed. I read that Advance Camera had a bulletin out on being able to use Loctite to do the reinforcement. Great point on the dials, I didn't think of it from that angle. Probably saved me some money I don't need to spend... yet. On the stickiness, I've read about it on MKI EM1's in a few different forums but it seems to be more prevalent on high-mileage EM5's. I'll most definitely check for sunburn on the EVF, thankfully I can return it if it's not up to snuff.

@Space - The inclination to do a preemptive strike on repairs is likely more emotional coming from a place of trying to eek out whatever is left in this copy of the body. An insurance policy is a great idea... might be able to add a rider to the home & property plans.

@Rick - Thanks for the reassurance and for walking me back from the ledge. I'll do all sorts of tests and can't wait to start using it.

@drj - I am presuming it's a USA model, but I don't know yet. I'm starting to get a sense that pouring too much into the body might not be a good idea when compared to a newer model without the issues. To @Tom's earlier point about the camera being this far down the track the dials will probably work for a while if they're still working now - will have to put some faith into it.

@TheEye - Yep, I understand that the screws that hold the lug in place from the inside can be reinforced with threadlocker; perhaps "reinforce" isn't the right word for it. More like "secured more." Thanks for sharing the pics to illustrate what I was referring to.

@cba_melbourne - Sage advice, for the most part I have the collection of lenses I want/need at the moment after having bought and sold more than I'd like to admit. I'll be using a Gordy's wrist strap, so I'll definitely keep an eye in that fashion on the lugs.
@Danielvr - Thanks for the clarification!

All of your responses are very much appreciated and are extremely helpful. We shouldn't forget that the enthusiasm that users have for this format can make or break the ownership experience aside from design, build, and performance alone.
Thanks for the guidance!
