Repair to Bronica waist-level finder

[jimmy74]

Hi there doe anybody know where i can get a manual that details how i can repair the waist-level finder of my Bronica SQA.

It's just a small issue of the magnifier not popping up due to the spring not being installed properly.

I just don't want to start taking it to bits and cause more of a problem. Thanks in advance

Jim

Hi, Did you manage to find a fix to this? I am experiencing the same issue.

Many thanks, Rob

There should be a spring on the hinge pin that's gotten out of place.
One end goes to the bottom of the magnifier, one to the cover of the finder.

Im not sure about your WLF, but they just about all the same. Id pull the hinge pin, then deal with the springs. You will need a third hand.

I just fixed one with the same issue. I need tweezers or small needle nose pliers to pull the hinge pin (as far as possible) to the still attached side. In my case the right side. I then lifted the magnifier and slipped the spring arms under. Keeping tension on the spring, I push the magnifier in the closed position and align the hinge holes. Once aligned, I use tweezers and a small flathead screwdriver. Tweezers to align the hinge pin and the screwdriver to push it into place. That should be it. If you are missing the spring, I cannot help with that.
