Fed 2 rangefinder horizontal goes out of adjustment

[MTP]

Hi,

Its my first post here and have to thank you for all the information ive received from this forum.
My problem is the horizontal adjustment going off really easily. Ive had my fed for five years and never had to adjust the rangefinder but month ago I noticed infinity was off and adjusted it and close focus too. Since that Ive had to adjust infinity three times as it goes off too easily. I should mention that I dont have that outer screw that covers the horizontal adjustment screw.
I hope you can help me. Thank you in advance.

It could be spring which is broke or misplaced. It could be loose crews in the rangefinder.
Some are suggesting to check the RF roller, which is on RF arm inside of the camera where lens mount is. It is not the roller but odd shaped plate. It might be loose.

But honestly, if camera was in use for five years, it needs CLA by experienced person.
