 Sorry to be dumb here, but I just tried this to see if I could un-stick my
OM-10, and while I managed to get the floor out just fine, I can't see which
bit is the magnet. The things that looked like they ought to be a magnet
didn't seem to want to move; I was expecting it to be similar to de-oiling
the magnet on an XA, where there's a little thing that barely moves apart to
let tissue get in there, but all the things I could find didn't want to move
at all, so I couldn't work out where I'd put the tisue in.

 What does the magnet on an om-10 look like?

 thanks,
