Can anyone point me to an online page or give basic instructions, for removing the top of a Yashica GSN. Mine sure looks like it needs the rangefinder glass cleaned. When comparing it to an Olympus 35RC and 35ED I have, it is quite a bit dimmer, but also seems to have a greenish tinge to it as well. Maybe this is normal? I've cleaned several Olympus rangefinders, but removing the top of the GSN looks definitely more difficult.
Thanks, Wayne

Google "matt's cameras, yashica electro 35" and you will find a good page on removing the top.

Thanks Charlie. It looks simple enough from Matt's directions, but with the tool I normally use as a pin spanner, I couldn't get the screw on the winder to budge at all. It looks as if I'll have to set about making a better pin spanner.
