Cleaning the Viewfinder - PhotoCamel

expensive_hobby · 05-25-2008

I recently inherited my husband's grandfather's Kodak. I have used it once, and since then I've tried taking it apart to clean the viewfinder. It was not fun to use since I could only somewhat make out shapes of blobs.

Unfortunately many of the nails holding it together are recessed. Any ideas on how to remove the nails without destroying it? I was able to remove two out of five.

The picture shows what the view finder looks like propped up towards a light bulb, and also the recessing of two of the three nails.

Can we get a picture of the entire thing?
