Yashica Electro 35

[RF'er]

I purchased one of these off Ebay, I believe this model is pre-GS, GSN. Am I correct? Anyway, it arrived in beautiful condition, however the glass over the finder is loose. I'm not sure I'm describing this piece correctly. It's the smaller of the 2 glass pieces on the top front of the camera. The one with the diamomd cutout inside. I would like to know how this is held in place? Is there a bracket that holds it or is it glued? Is this an easy repair or should I send it to someone?

😕

The diamond mask is for the rangefinder secondary image. It is on the larger of the two front windows. It is held in place by a metal strip and some glue. You will need to remove the top cover. The Yashica Guy has instructions for this. Just use Google...Roger
