Thank you John for the complete reply. I think I was half asleep
when I asked the question, of course the cell in the floor is hidden
by the mirror during prior metering. :-o
I intend to explore a home repair on the spare OM10 body with the
sticky magnet. Have you any advice on pitfalls to be avoided?
Slowly, slowly, I do nothing in a hurry these days.
