Hi Jochen,
I can only refer you back into the mists of time.
If you go to Yahoo Groups & do a search for russiancamera you will find an old forum now sadly overun with spam. However if you join and go to Files and the open the folder Parlin Stuff you will find some pictures and information on the Leningrad's rangefinder adjustment.
This group migrated to the Russian Camera forum at Beststuff.com some years ago due to the spam on Yahoo, so if you need any more information go there and I'm sure you will get lots of help.

Thanks John for your hint and Gary, who mailed me helpful informations.
In short:
the little plate on top has a bajonett-mount and under it you find the screw for vertical adjustment;
the screw for horizontal adjustment is exactly like the FED behind the screw near the RF-window. Unforunatelly at my Leningrad there is a plain surfce behind this screw. Nothing that can be handled with a screwdriver. Seems I have to remove the top. |
