C4, how to take apart and clean RF ?

[spystyle]

Hello from Maine 🙂

I like the Argus C4, I'm still trying to find a rangefinder that grows on me and I'll give it a try 🙂

Unfortunately the first one I bought, in "great condition" off eBay, the shutter doesn't work! Yikes!

So I eventually bought another, in "great condition" off eBay, but the rangefinder windows are dirty inside.

I'd like to know how to open the top and clean those, also my pal has a laser rangefinder - maybe I can use it to very the rangefinder is working so my first roll won't come back with all fuzzy subjects 🙂 I'd like to know how to do that.

Thanks !
Craig

UPDATE !

Hey I got it apart in like 3 mins, it's super easy 🙂

I got it all back together within an hour and now it has a nice clean rangefinder, so nice 🙂

Having a clean rangefinder window makes a tremendous difference.

Have fun!
