7Sz and left vf window

[leif e]

I just got my 7Sz - a beauty! I knew when I bought it that the left viewfinder glass (seen from the front) was broken in two. It does not seem to affect focusing (much?), but it´s also loose, so is the plastic next to it. Question; is there an easy fix for this - or should I take it to the magicians (repair)?
Thanks!

You have to take the top off. The plastic panel is glued in- a weak point in such a fine camera.

For the broken RF window, I would look for a similar sized pane of glass such as that in a Kodak Retina top plate, or have one made.

This is a fine and rare camera, I would bring it to a competent repair shop.

Thanks Brian! I´ll take it to the man - picking up my fixed P at the same time. And yes; the 7 looks really promising! I´m looking very much forward to using it.
