still the same Konica S2:

I had to reglue the small mirror that's part of the rangefinder system (the right one that moves when changing distance). I glued it as secure as I could in the same place as my "good" S2, but of course, there is a difference and I had to readjust the rangefinder.
Now (but maybe it was like that before, I don't know for sure), the frame-mask bulges quite a lot when it goes to infinity; the lever is more vertical then on my "good" S2 when in near-focus; The mask cannot move enough because it comes to the end but the lever still pushes on when focussing further to infinity. This bulging causes the upper frameline to even dissappear. Anything I can do about it ? Please see the pictures (last one is at infinity position):
frameline in near-focus position, notice lever quite vertical
near-focus, mask not bulging
infinity position
Notice bulging at infinity
