Ricoh 500 G uncoupled!

[Ducky]

I just received a Ricoh 500 G from evilbay. Looks clean, seals seem ok, shutter speeds probably ok. However, the RF is uncoupled. Using a frosted glass with the camera open I determined that the lens is focusing but the RF focus window does nothing. Won't change at all. It's a nice scale focus camera as-is but can it be fixed? It's not worth a cla.:mad:

can it be fixed?

I think so. Opening the camera is not difficult at all if all the screws are clean. And IIRC, the RF mechanism is quite obvious once opened.
