Kiev60 Focus Screens article
With the retaining screws and their tabs away here is what we have.
Without scratching the screen we can lift an edge of the screen with
our small screwdriver and lift the top screen out.
Remember that this screen is made from plastic so it can be damaged if
handled roughly or if allowed to get into contact with solvents or some
glues.
If your job was just to replace this screen then drop in your new
screen and reassemble.
If your plan is to take out the glass screen as well , keep going.
This Kiev60 had a plastic frame that separated the top plastic screen
from the bottom glass screen.
This can be removed , it is not unusually fragile.
Now the bottom glass plate can be removed.
It may be necessary to give a gentle push from underneath where the
mirror is and lift the front edge of the glass screen a little more
than the rear to get it out.
This is all to it , easy !
Note that if lines are marked on the glass screen (as this screen has)
they are on the TOP side and the patterned side of the plastic screen
is on the BOTTOM side.
The parts WILL go together wrong if your not observant but your
focusing system will be WAY OFF : Get it rite.!
