While cleaning up my recently acquired Zenobia, I noticed the screws on either side of the eyepiece seemed loose. As soon as I began tightening the first one, the viewfinder glass cracked. Now I'll need to remove the top of the camera. Is the screw holding the winding knob a reverse (left-hand) thread? I've tried unscrewing it the conventional way and can't seem to loosen it.

Yes, the screw in the wind knob in the Zenobia is a LH thread.

(however, in the nearly identical Waltax, which preceded the Zenobia, it's a regular RH thread screw. I suppose they discovered that it was working loose in the Waltax and so changed to a LH thread for the Zenobia)

Thanks Rick! I'll put the hammer drill in reverse for this one...
