So I recently bought a little rangefinder called the Olympus Ace (AKA tower 19) from Japan. Basically it's a pretty uncommon interchangable lens rangefinder that was supposed to be olympus' cheaper M3. Unfortunately, when it arrived the rangefinder was beyond screwed. I've completely stripped it down ( it is a pretty simple rf mechanism) and gently cleaned all the surfaces, yet the rf patch is still just a blurry haze. It also seems to be significantly out of vertical alignment.
Has anyone ever worked on one of these before? Help!
