The viewfinder is foggy/hazy. Need some pointers or source for info on cleaning and brightening so that it works properly. Many Thanks

Cleaning of all glass surfaces is obligatory. This requires the removal of the top cap and the black glued-on paper or metal finder covering. If you work slowly and carefully the whole thing is not too difficult. You have to be extra careful not to touch the semi-solvered rangefinder glass, because without its coating there is no imaginary picture. If you search this forum's archives you will most probably find many useful hints; you should also try this link:http://www.yashica-guy.com/document/repair.html
I wish you luck with your project, W.
