Reattaching Lenses on Kodak Reflex

[onelog]

Alright, so I bought an original Kodak Reflex from a junk store and decided I wanted to clean it since the lenses were a little dirty and the shutter seemed to be sticking. I was able to get the outer lenses to come off, but decided last minute against fixing the shutter mechanism after developing a roll shot with it and liking how the images came out still. Only problem now is I have no idea how to get those lenses to line up and screw back on! Any tips or advice on how to get this camera put back together? Or am I just screwed? Thanks!

There's a set on Flickr on repairing the Kodak Reflex.

Also, you might want to look up lens collimation on Google. I think Rick Oleson has some good info on his site.

That flickr set was actually one of the main reasons I decided to try to operate on my camera in the first place. But after taking the lenses off as per the instructions on flickr, I noticed that there's no included instructions on how to get the lenses to actually come back on. Once I get them to reattach I'll definitely be looking into collimation to make sure my focusing is right. Thanks for the info though!

Can anyone else help on some of the more mechanical how the hell do I get these lenses to actually screw on together? What's the trick?
