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. 

Regards,
