The Kalart rangefinder on my Crown isn't anywhere close when the image on the GG is perfect focus at infinity. The infinity stops appear to be correct. The range scale agrees with the focused image at infinity as well. I'm using steep roof peak of house at least 1/2 mile away for infinity.
I'm having problems understanding the procedures for adjusting the cam. I do have the Kalart manual which describes how to do it but very confusing. The manual says to focus at infinity using the Rangefinder "first." Mine won't focus anywhere along the rack.
It also says that the Pacemaker Graphic camera's must have the track racked forward to access the adjustment cam on the right runner of the camera track. A photo in my manual shows the arm on the rangefinder shaft making contact with the cam when the track is racked all the way forward. No so on mine. There is about an inch between where the arm stops and the cam when it is racked out enough to make the adjustment. Same thing on a 23 Speed Graphic.
Do I check focus, rack out all the way, adjust cam, rack back into the infinity marking, check, then repeat process?
Or is mine out of whack inside the rangefinder housing itself?
