Mess Ikonta top plate removal

[bvandrasik]

I am trying to remove the top of my Mess Ikonta to clean the rangefinder and viewfinder windows. I have the film advance and rangefinder dials off and the two visible screws on the top. What else am I missing?

Thanks!
Brad

Have you looked in the upper film chambers to see if there is a screw there? On my Super Isolette - Agfa managed to place a retaining screw under the accessory shoe - which was very tricky of them, I must say.

I've got a section for the Mess Ikonta that should help. See here...

Thanks, this should be VERY helpful! I didn't think to remove the flash shoe screws.
