Kodak Reflex II Viewfinder Disassembly and Cleaning

[Geckoman416]

as far as gluing the paper down on the front you might want to try contact cement. All you have to do is paint it on both sides of what you need to glue (the front of the camera & the backside of the paper). Then you let it set for about 15 minutes or until almost dry, a little bit tacky to the touch. Then just press the paper to the camera, apply some pressure and then you're all set!

Hope I helped some!

P.S. - Do you know where I can get a cheap, vintage, working TLR?

@Geckoman416 Thanks, might have to try that. Not sure where to get cheap working ones. I usually go around pawn shops and thrift stores looking for them.

Thanks, very helpful. I bought a Kodak Reflex I and need to glue-down the reflex mirror. Your video saved me a lot of time and work!

Would you have a Yashica Mat 124? Because I do and I can't find any video tutorial on the internet, and I came here trying to see if this cleaning procedure applies to my camera. Having looked at the photos of Yashica TLR's, It's a bit different. So I'd really appreciate if you make a tutorial on how to clean the yashica Mat's viewfinder, in case you do have one. thank you.

@Leucoplasts Unfortunately I don't have a Yashica. Still building my collection.

Hey, thank you for the video! I have yet to receive mine by mail, I have noticed the peeling as well on mine, I wouldn't glue mine back though but then again don't think they'd lose value, if any. How about Gorilla glue with a Q-tip?
