I have used the SRT 101 quite a bit and current have its cousin, an SRT 102
in my camera stable.  As far as I know, there is no easy way to change the
focus screen.  Surgury by a camera repair professional who is willing to
improvise is the only sollution.  But the SRT 101 is a 35 year old design,
meaning parts availability is nill.  It is probably more cost effective to
simply buy am OM-1 body which will accept interchangeable screens.
