Under "Camera Articles" within this Forum you will find my contribution on the Minister III. It does not specifically address the rangefinder issue which you raise but it will help you access such should you deterimne to go the route. The viewfinder yellow coincident image is produced by semi-silvered coating on one side of the diagonal glass in the viewfinder. That glass is called the "image-splitter". The coating is very soft and will usually vanish if an attempt is made to clean it. You then end up with no rangefinder. Perhaps some previous camera tinkerer has done just that ! The only fix is to replace that image splitter with a good one as possibly salvaged from another camera. Optical Labs can recoat it but the cost would be prohibitive. Hope this helps. |
