NYC/Long Island Kalart Rangefinder Expertise Needed

[igzabeher]

I posted this on the Large Format Photography Forum and figured I'd give it a shot here as well.

I've fiddled and I've tinkered and everything in between, but I can't seem to get the side mounted rangefinder on my Pacemaker into vertical alignment at infinity. I can get it 85% of the way there, then anything I do after that takes me further away from alignment. Anyone in NYC or on Long Island with experience calibrating the rangefinder on a Pacemaker willing to take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you kindly.

What lens in on the camera? If I'm not mistaken the side mounted RF's are matched to a 127mm or 135mm lens and if you have longer lens you can't calibrate them(?) OR if the lens is correct you maybe using wrong infinity stop.

The top mounted finders were cammed for a specific lens. I'm calibrating for a 127mm. I set the infinity stop for this lens before trying to setup the rangefinder.
