I have a 'new' Ib in good mechanical shape, but the viewfinder is cloudy. Are any complications with the frame counter likely if I take off the top cover? (Is the frame counter attached to the top cover, or does the cover just lift away from it?)

I overcame my fears and did it. In case anyone else needs to clean their Retina Ib viewfinder, I have written it up here:
