Open them up, move things around a bit, dump out the dirt and they perk right up. Yeah, that’s usually the case. Open them up, move things around a bit, dump out the dirt and they perk right up.

I fixed it, but I don't know how. I just pulled the top off the camera and it sort-of started working again. Had to lube one of the pivots to make it fully functional again, but it seems to be working now. The split image is now there, but it's a little faint. I might eventually pull it back apart and clean up some of the surfaces and the front window. http://www.flickr.com/photos/brianauer/2909955508/ Well… I fixed it, but I don’t know how.

Nine times out of ten, it turns out to be a few decades worth of dirt jamming things up. If you have frame lines but no split image, it may be that the mirror in the rangefinder needs to be re-silvered or replaced. It really depends on the camera and the type of rangefinder.

That looks like a lot of fun actually. This reminds me... I've got a rangefinder with a busted rangefinder. I might just have to tear it apart and see if I can get it going again (or at least buy another broken camera for a new rangefinder mechanism). Any idea what would make the ragefinder stop working? I got nothing -- just the framing box. oooh! That looks like a lot of fun actually. This reminds me… I’ve got a rangefinder with a busted rangefinder.
