Tower III-S Rangefinder

[Mike_C]

Can anyone tell me how to remove the rangefinder housing on a Tower (Nicca) III-S? It's separate from the top plate; but I can't work out how to separate it.
Grateful for any assistance.

I did this just recently to clean the rangefinder assembly. You'll have to unscrew both the front rangefinder lenses, and also the rangefinder adjustment lens. The diopter adjustment also comes out when you remove a single screw on the side. The shutter speed dial comes off, and the ring around the shutter button also unscrews. You'll also have to remove the hot shoe. there's probably other screws to remove but they'll be obvious.
hope that helps,
