Anyway to make vertical and horizontal RF match easily? FED 2

[Mudman]

My viewfinder isn't matching up horizontally and vertically, the vertical is off by a fraction of an inch. Any easy way to adjust this?
Thanks,
Eric

Adjust the lateral RF first using the screw behind the middle one (under the E in Fed). The take the outer bezel off the RF window and adjust the vertical alignment.

Kim,

Wrong way around - adjusting the vertical will also affect horizontal so it needs to be done first...

how can i take the outer bezel off...?... only the external ring

The silver round outer bezel just screws off. Then you need to turn the inner ring with 2 spanner notches for vertical alignment.

Tomass,

In your picture you have unscrewed the entire assembly. You need to get the silver ring off and screw the rest back on the camera.

Screw the whole thing back in, fairly tight. Then heat the ring with a domestic iron or by moving a pencil-flame blowtorch around it for a couple of seconds (be careful after of course!). You could also try soaking the threaded part in a penetrating oil for a few days: apply a tiny amount where the bezel meets the prism housing, with it removed as per the photo.
