I've adjusted my Moskva 5 rangefinder, to correct the diagonal travel of the images--now they move perfectly horizontally across the rangefinder. That is good, but they are still a little out of alignment vertically-just enough to drive me crazy. Someone told me that I need to adjust the angle of the beam splitter, but I've never done that... is it possible for a mere human klutz like me?

No love for the Moskva 5? :(

Yes, that's where I found the info I used for my repairs to date--but nothing about fixing/aligning the beamsplitter, if that is indeed what needs to be done. Thanks for your response! I hope you enjoy your Moskva; it's a pretty cool piece of equipment.
