Balda Baldix Rangefinder
I have a Balda Baldix that was given to me. I have cleaned and used the camera and it works quite well. I am planning on using it again this summer but want to try and fix the rangefinder.
I has an uncoupled range finder but it is inaccurate doe anyone have any tips on re calibrating it? Thanks David |

Here's maybe what you are looking for
https://www.flickr.com/groups/289621...7627362476097/ It doesn't appear to open but Google Balda Baldix uncoupled rangefinders and it should take you to the Flickr site where the Flickr thread is and there you will find a link to a photo of the rangefinder internals Can someone explain what I have done wrong ?

I have a couple of those with both 3 and 4 element lenses and they're nice cameras but I've given up trying to calibrate the rangefinders.
I've found a few old accessory shoe rangefinders and they can be inaccurate with age. |

Well, what do you know? I looked at Bob's link and it worked fine despite looking like my link. So I clicked on my original link and it has worked fine as well
Maybe I did nothing wrong - it was just a quirky internet at the time Mike |

Hi Mike. I fixed your link so as to avoid confusing peeps (but only managed to confuse you instead ). Originally there were two copies of the URL address in your link so I untangled them.

Sorry Mike, I have no idea - the two URLs were mixed so that one was in the middle of the other. I assume you accidentally pasted the address twice. Something like this
Code:
www.film-and-darwww.film-and-darkroom-user.org.uk/kroom-user.org.uk/ |
