So i recently got my hands on an Argus C4 and it seems as if the lens is loose. Sometimes the rangefinder ring and numbers line up properly and sometimes they don't, also it does not want to seem to focus properly. It also seems like the movements in the focus and aperture are a little stiff just wondering if anyone knew an easy fix.

thank you yes i am sure this will come in handy thankfully i have found someone who use to repair cameras willing to give it a go for some random drywall work so i do not have to attempt this one myself. I am positive i could get it apart the back together thing is another story, but again thanks for the help
