First of all thanks to you all giving me the confidence to take my first camera apart.
The RF lens fell off in the summer and now I've managed to glue it back on. Ever since I got this camera a couple of years ago, the RF image has been a bit high... kinda "offset".
(the owner thought it was broken and it sat in it's case for about 30 years, I thought so too, didn't know you had to put a film in it to get the shutter to work. I even beat her down 5 euro's and got it for 20. Since then I have realised it was my luckiest day.)

So... the 2 screws on the RF that seem to adjust the setting. What do they do...? PHOTOS
In PICT0010 you can see the screws (with springs)
Do they actually adjust the range finder? If so, how do you calibrate it? And.. Would the "vertical" adjustment get rid of the slight "offset"..?

Thanks... and if anyone wants me to take some more pictures of the inside of the camera before I reassemble it, let me know.
