Help with dismantled VISET

[maxspbr]

Hi all.

 

 

Anyone have an idea to help an old VISET? (That old torpedo viewfinder, from around 1931).

 

I got one, very very dirty and the image was out of focus. Then sent it to my technician, a fine gentleman around 80 years old. But he passed away. And his partners can't put again the parts together with the image in focus.

 

Anyone here has the INTERNAL diagram of this model?

 

With this would be possible to mount it in the correct way.

 

Thanks a lot!

By the way: how is the image seen with this kind of viewfinder? Has focus on all image? Is it clear? Or I'm asking too much from it?

Are you sure it is a VISET ?

Dear Braconi,

I just got the parts. Beautifully made inside, too.

 

Anyone know the right sequence of parts?

The best I got.

 

From the end of viewfinder to the ocular:

 

1- dark mask

 

2- small piece of glass with the lines

 

3- convex lens

 

4- large metal ring

 

5- thin locking ring

 

6- large locking ring

 

7- big piece with the ocular.

 

Image in focus, but the lines are out of focus.
