Aligning the rangefinder on a Retina IIIC


Recommended Posts

<p>You will have to remove the top cover to get at the adjustments. There is a lever that engages <br>

the rangefinder mechanism when the camera is opened. Sometimes this lever will stick due<br>

to dirt or dried up lubricants which could cause the rangefinder to operate incorrectly so that<br>

would be the first thing to check.</p>

<p>There is a page covering many Retina issues:</p>

<p>http://retinarescue.com/kodakretinarepair.html<br>

http://retinarescue.com/retina2arfadjust.html shows how to adjust the rangefinder on a Retina II. As far as I remember the III is pretty similar. I remember that sometimes the screws are very tight. </p>

<p>However, as mentioned before, in many cases it is just the coupling lever which is sticky. A drop of lighter fluid (and a tiny drop of gun oil or silicon oil) will fix this. </p>
