I attached a 90 degree prism finder, It is jammed and when attempting remove it the film back release button broke off. I cannot remove the film back that would allow the removal of the prism finder. Any suggestions?

You need to have the darkslide inserted to remove the back

The darkslide is inserted but the film back cannot be removed

Can you reach the release mechanism with bent-nose tweezers or similar tool to move it enough to get the back to come off?

I just got my 500c back from KEH, right at 400 bucks, no parts required. Works great. It was locked up from very dryed up grease.
