Does anyone have a pic of the below rangefinder internals. I'm particularly interested in the correct position of the spring behind the diagonal mirror which projects the framelines into the beam splitter. If you look at my pic the mirror I'm talking sbout is missing because I have yet to reglue it to the frame. This frame has a pivot and a spring which is not common with other yashica rangefinders. I'm curious because in my mind it seems like thst spring does nothing the way it is positioned in my camera. Ok so the mirror just behind the frameline metal plate has fallen off. no prob I can stick that back on but I am a bit confused by the spring shown in the picture. it seems like it might be in the wrong position. if you look at the frame where the missing mirror mounts to. it has a lever arm which extends near a hexagonal post with a slot in it. well I though that lever arm is supposed to interact with that hexagonal post which moves in and out as you turn the focus ring. to me it seems like the spring is doing the exact opposite and keeping the lever arm from moving the mirror.
