located directly in front of the ra n ge finder eye-
piece and under the parallax frame assembly. If
the screw cannot be turned without removing the
parallax frame assembly, be sure to note the posi-
tion of the parallax frame assembly before remov-
ing the two range finder eyelet frame screws (fig-
ure 5) , which hold the parallax frame assembly and
the range finder eyelet lens assembly to the range
finder plate. On reassembly , the parallax frame
assembly must be replaced in the same relation to
the range finder reflection guard (figure 6) .
CAUTION:
The parallax frame assembly
is made of thin metal and must be han-
dled with care . It should not be rem oved
unless necessary.
If the counter dial was left on the range finder
plate, te . mporarily replace the key knob on the key
post and follow through the cycle of operation of the
camera as described on page 8 until the cutout on
the safety control cam faces toward the counter dial.
Remove the two screws which hold the range
finder plate to the case, one at each end of the range
finder plate . Remove the range finder actuating
lever link if it has not been removed (see figure 1)
If the focusing dial was removed, proceed as fol-
lows-with the focusing tube assembly all the way
in, turn the range finder cam assembly counterclock -
wise until the first tooth of the gear on the cam is

opposite the end of the cam follower assembly . This
will allow the range finder actuating lever assembly
(figure 1) to pass through the hole in the mechanis m
plate assembly (figure 7). Lift off the range finder
pIa te, together with the range finder optics. The
shutter setting lever pin and lever assembly (figure
6) will come off with the range finder plate and c an
be pulled out through the slot in the range finder pla te .
If the focusing dial was not removed , proce ed
as follows-with the focusing tube all the way in ,
turn the focusing dial clockwise ; at the same time
lift up on the range finder plate. This will allow
the range finder actuating lever assembly to pass
through the hole in the mechanism plate and the
range finder plate , together with the range finder
optics which can be lifted off.
As soon as the range finder plate is removed , the
range finder couplet bar (figure 1) beneath the mech-
anism plate will drop down. In order to p reve nt
the range finder adjusting screwbracketfrom ca tch-
ing on
the couplet bar and throwing the range f inder
out of adjustment, turn the upper range finder cou-
pler arm (figure 7) toward the back of the ca mera .
Then push up on the couplet bar, and turn the cou-
pler arm back toward the camera until it fits in the
slot in ·the mechanism plate. Wedge it in place.
