I just picked up a Hi-Matic 7S that is in really good shape with a clean/clear lens and working meter. The viewfinder windows need cleaning, but before I take the camera apart, I'd like to also get an idea where the Hor/Ver RF adjustments are made... I can't seem to find info anywhere on the web or any YouTube videos or photos.
The issue I have appears to be with the vertical... the two images do not overlap and are a fair amount off. I can line up things horizontally when focusing though. I'm hoping this can be fixed through an adjustment as the rest of the camera is in really nice condition.

Here's a couple of images culled from other threads. I'm pretty sure the vertical adjustment screw is the one behind the rotating mirror. It looks like it's in a slot but that might be just how it looks. Close inspection once you get the top off should clarify it.

Yes. When the site was updated recently, all such links stopped working. An oversight by the admins me thinks.
