Subject: Re: [Leica] Adjusting M6 vertical alignemnt

It requires a special tool (150000001279    ADJ. RF M4P,M6) which sells for
about $250US. You can buy it from Leica NJ. If you know what you are doing
it is possible to adjust it after having removed the top plate but using the
tool is the best and easiest way.
