Thanx

hmm, how can get these magnets oily at this place ? at the first 
look there seems nothing to be where the oil can come from 
(maybe this little joint/connection which holds the magnet ?)


OM-2, 2n, 10, etc electro magnets:
are these only accessible if unmounting the whole lens mount and 
mirror box mechanics (e.g. neccessacy to remove top plate of the body
than more or less disassemble 1/3 of the body ? only to clean this magnet ?
- beside of drilling a hole from the back of the body 
and than accessing the magnets ;-)

Thanx again

Rudy
