Hi! I recently acquired a Vitomatic II (not IIa) and unfortunately discovered that the rangefinder wasn't aligned. Infinity was off and when checked with a tape measure 6' was off as well. Through other posts on this site I've managed to get the top off and successfully adjusted the vertical via this square screw: http://goo.gl/Ntp9s But nothing really happens when I try to adjust the horizontal using this screw with the spring around it: http://goo.gl/Lw6pu So is that the correct screw for horizontal adjustments? The rangefinder patch moves a little bit, but it never aligns at infinity or at 6' and the patch always hangs to the right of the real image. According to this earlier post by Ethostech there's the possibility that the rangefinder objective has been flipped? https://kyp.hauslendale.com/classics/forum/messages/15681/12884.html?1217997723 If that's the case...I don't know where to begin. I don't even know what that part is. :-) Is this little piece of glass the rangefinder objective? http://goo.gl/7JJ1e If that is it...how do I go about getting to it? I can't figure out which screws to take out, or in which order. Also, is it possible to do without having to re-cement the viewfinder back together? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
