So unless Marc or somebody out there has a simple remedy for freeing this window up, I guess I'm stuck with a vertically misaligned rangefinder- still usable as it is. At some point I'll probably send it out to Sherry Krauter, cuz stuff like this drives me NUTZ!! On the bright side, I DO feel as though Marc's just given me a very practical seminar in Leica repair.......:) Many Thanks, Rich >Ah! Vertical alignment isn't that hard, either.
