I was 11.The viewfinder had enough haze built up to make focusing difficult- last CLA was 1976. Time to clean it, I'm a lot better at fixing cameras than I was in 1976.Tools required: Flat Head screwdriver, I used a Wiha 260 1.5x40, and a pair of fine needle nosed pliers.This took a few minutes.GOTCHAS: 1) The Hot Shoe and PC cord are wired to the body, and this is easy to break. Have something to lay the top on while working on the camera in the upright position.2) The shutter release button has TWO parts, and the small metal stem can fall out into the body when you remove the top. Remove the top with the camera on its back.3) Washers: one on each end of the rewind shaft. I reassembled the rewind shaft after removing it to keep the washers in place.When reassembling- lay the camera and top on their side, put the two-piece release in place on the top piece, then slide the top into place.[ATTACH=full]214081[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]214082[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]214083[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]214084[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]214085[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]214086[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]214087[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]214088[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]214089[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]214090[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
