I have one of these cameras and I need to adjust the rangefinder. There are 2 adjustments on it, one under the screw in the film chamber and one in between the 2 rangefinder mirrors.
Does anyone know which screw does what? I would assume the rear one sets the infinity focus and the one down the middle sets the close focus. Can anyone confirm this?

Cheers

You should be able to adjust the RF using the one in the film chamber. Go outside and pick out a pole or house window at least 100 yards away and "bring" the two images together when the camera focus is set to infinity. On a window or anything box shaped if you stil have two images (one abouve the other) you will then have to adjust that under the top of camera or perhaps under the access. shoe (don't remember exactly)!
