Ricoh 500GX - rangefinder issue!

I've just received a Rich 500GX from eBay, of course.
Bought as a spares/repairs everything seems to work except the rangefinder. Cosmetically its just great and has a lens cap and a pristine case. The lens appears to be clear and does track in and out, but, the rangefinder patch does move.
First question - how do I get at the rangefinder because the top doesn't come off as far as I can see?
Second question - any ideas about what I might find when I do get into the camera?
