i have an old linhoff tech III. it seems that a prisim in the rangefinder broke loose in a car accident last summer. rather than simply dive into the camera, i was hoping somebody could give me some hints, such as how many screws to undo and where they are. any hints once i get in there? no way i can pay anyone to fix this so i hope someone can help me out. th

Seth: The cover should come off by removing the screw and the very top and very bottom, if it is like most rangefinders. Once you get into it, it should be easy to see what needs to be done. Re-cement the prism and then realign it and it should be fine.
