I have several older cameras.
I can clean the mirror and the frosted viewer glass on one side bet how do I clean the frosted glass on the top? It has lint in it and it looks like I might have to take it out, But I don't know how. Can someone help? |

It depends very much on what camera(s) you're talking about. In 35mm SLRs with non-removable prisms, in most cases you have to remove teh top cover, then remove the prism, taking care not to damage the meter movement if the camera has a needle-type meter readout in the finder. This is reasonably easy to do in some, pretty difficult in others, and I wouldn't recommend trying it in anything unless you have a bit of experience and/or some sort of guidance to work with for the specific model you're working on.
In some cameras you can remove the screen through the lens mount: Nikon FM2, Olympus OM, Pentax MX all let you do this easily; the Nikon EM and FG screens come out the front as well, though you have to use a screwdriver on these.
Please let us know what specific cameras you're talking about and we may be able to help with some tips.
