The taking lens seems to be OK - at infinity focus it appears to be sharp as best I can see using my "scotch tape ground glass". I found out last night that my camera's viewing lens is not secured by any kind of lock-nut, the whole viewing lens assembly was able to be unscrewed from the lensboard and taken out. I wonder if someone else did this repair and left out the screw, or maybe my camera is from before they decided to add the lock-nut to the design? So anyway, I used a friction tool to adjust focus until infinity looked good and sharp. I think I've got it now. Hopefully the focus is sharp in both close and far focus positions. We'll see when the next roll of film goes through..!
