Hi, I have a Franka Super Frankarette (externally look 99% alike to a Agfa Super Silette instead). I found the rangefinder can line up the target, but it appear vertically it doesn't. I open the back and found two small holes (one on the film guiding rail, another near the rangefinder eye piece), but don't know what each hole is for. Does anyone knows how to adjust the rangefinder vertical alignment of this camera? Should I open the top in order to do so? Thanks.

I manage to remove both rewind knob and advance knob, then I remove the two screws on the top cover and the cover is off. Near the rear side on the rangefinder assembly, there is a large white screw, I turn it clockwise to rise the yellow image. Now I have the rangefinder well aligned and ready to go out.
