Wata Rangefinder Adjustment

[st. paulitan]

I've got a Wata rangefinder that needs to be adjusted. Anybody know how to do that?

Thanks!

Dunno but a quick Google Search brought me there: http://photos.simark.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/watameter-rangefinder-instructions.pdf

Doesn't sound too complicated...

I failed to mention that mine is the Wata Combi-meter and not the one that you found. Wish it was as simple to adjust.................

The early versions of the Watameter had knurled knobs for adjustment. The central knob (inside the distance wheel) is for distance (horizontal), the side knob next to the ocular is for vertical adjustment. Later Watameters replace the knobs with adjustment screws, and conceal these with a metal or plastic cap, but (as far as mine go) the principle remained the same. That is, it should be easy once you found out where they hid the screws.
