Hi Howard It sounds like the focus knob may be in the wrong position on it's shaft if you can't focus the taking lens to infinity. To adjust it you would need to unscrew the cover on the knob and then loosen the lock nut on the shaft. You need a tool like a lens spanner or a modified screwdriver. You can set infinity focus for the taking lens using your screen on the film rails to determine correct focus while making adjustments but tightening the locknut/turning the knob/loosening the locknut. Once infinity is set for the taking lens the viewing lens is checked to see if it matches. If it's focus is different to the taking lens you can adjust it by loosening a locking collar and screwing the whole viewing lens in or out until it matches. It should then match at all distances. If the camera has been messed with it's possible that shims under the front panel or lens board may need to be adjusted, but this is unlikely and the two adjustments above should sort it out.
