Removing Framing Mask Assembly (Model 600SE Only)
It is possible to remove and repair the framing mask spring (keeping the metal mask in tension
against the film framing mask) without disassembly of the rangefinder/viewfinder. Figure 4-20
shows the spring. It is accessible after the viewfinder window cover and viewfinder windows have
been removed (Figures 4-6 and 4-15). The viewfinder selector switch should be in the 127
position.
Figure 4-20. Removing framing mask spring
Pull the spring end off the spring stud first. Then pull the spring off the screw. Replace spring.
Apply fresh adhesive to window area before replacing screen and glass window.
The spring should be removed in a similar manner if the rangefinder assembly is removed from
the camera as shown in Figure 4-21. Further disassembly down to the film mask assembly level
can be done without readjustment.
Note: Removal of this framing screen (film mask) from the parallax frame (metal guide plate)
will require realignment of the framing images and adjustment of the mask position.
Pull this end first.
