Oil eventually migrates from the shutter mechanism and gets on the magnet.
In bodies where the magnet is in the back, you remove the mirror box floor,
open shutter on B, clean magnet through the open shutter curtain.

| 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
