Subject: M3 rangefinder

A few months ago I asked the list for help with an M3 rangefinder that had
lost contrast and was often difficult to focus.  I am happy to report that a
_relatively_ inexpensive cleaning did the trick. I just got my camera back
from DAG and find that the rangefinder is perfectly clear and the double
image very easy to see, even in the dimmest light.  I should add that I have
an early double stroke M3 without the frame selector lever.  While I may
well have been lucky, my problem was fixed without a major repair or
replacement.  I do not have to add that I would recommend Don Goldberg
without any hesitation what-so-ever.

On another matter,  I just renewed my supply or Mercury Oxide batteries.
