If you still have the EM, you may not want to give up on it yet, if it is in reasonably good shape. At the link below you can get it overhauled for roughly $50 (maybe more if there are serious problems). I doubt you are going to replace it with anything else costing that little. One of the frequent contributors here, has had good luck with this repair service.
If you don't have the EM anymore, you will probably pay at least $70 to replace it with a comparable, operating camera. Anything else, Nikon, will run you over $100 in good operating condition. The FM series is a good choice, and allows you a few more options than the EM. The latest recarnation is the FM3a (I think), available new, that is relatively expensive at $350 and up--I wouldn't buy one just to use the lens you got with it. At those kind of prices it might be better to consider a modern autofocus camera.
