Fed- 3 problemo

[nomade]

How to unscrew the winding lever?? I'm stuck, and there's no screw driver size that seems to fit in...I'm stuck :bang:

Yes that one, i can't find a tool that suits it, and i tried to use some tricks but it's a bit too small...

I know i'm sometimes a pain in the ass 😀, but what kinda people usually use that, i looked for something that thin but i didn't find any @ any od the tool guys...

I found a sewing thing similar to pliers, it's probably gonna work, should i unscrew it CW or CCW???

Oh one more thing, THX!

You can also use a compass with two steel points, just be sure to support the compass arm near the points as you apply pressure.

Since "problem" in Spanish is spelled "problema", that's got to be quite a gender-challenged problem! 😉

Don't forget the beer after it's done.

Yeah i almost broke that, and the sewing thing didn't work either, i found one of my father's tools (a dentist) and it worked...

Gabriel, beer is needed even before it's done, and it's not done yet, there's one stiff screw, seems that screws don't like me 😡 Something must stand in the wya, but i'm gonna do it, i've just sprayed the screw with some oil, i'll have to be a bit patient... :bang:

Surprise surprise i've a missing screw!

The range finder vertical alignment screw is missing...I'm really tired *WAAAAA*

U mean the missing screw has nothing to do with the vertical alignment?? Well i donno there's a missing screw and the RF parallelism needs that to stand straight, i've noticed the adjustment problem when i was buying, but i didn't really care, since my eyes focal length is longer than usual, so i'm not seeing well through the view finder anyway, i only look through to frame the shot...

Well i used the main feature of a range finder which is having a range finder actually😀 only with the fed 2, mainly because the view finder was very dim!

I found this online, maybe it's not quiet clear, but the prism is held by 3 screws, 2 are aligned together and the 3rd is a little behind...

SSorry agai i know i'm a constant headache 😀

Uh i thought they had something to do with the vertical alignment cause obviously moving the prism caused some vertical misalignment (also horizontal but that i could fix), yeah the round lens i got u, but it has never aligned anything vertically, it had something to do with the clarity of vision through the view finder with me (well i've explained before i've a long sightedness)
