I have just bought an Olympus Trip 35. When I look through the viewfinder the picture is a little fuzzy compared with the other trip I've got. I would like to clean the inside of the viewfinder but I don't know how to get inside the camera. Help please.

From memory, open the back cover and flip up the rewind crank. Put one screwdriver in the slot in the shaft inside the camera to prevent it from turning while unscrewing the small slotted screw under the crank. Remove the two small Phillips head screws under the rewind knob and the similar small screw on the right hand end of the cover. The cover should now slide off. The shutter release button is loose and may fall off. Do all this over a white terrycloth towel to make small parts easier to see and to prevent them from bouncing or rolling away.
Reassemble in reverse order.

Thanks Charlie for your help. Much appreciated. I am very nervous about opening up the camera for fear I will wreck it. Thanks again, Les.
