Hello everyone thanks for your help with past questions, and today I have a new one. After years of thinking that I needed some sort of weird battery to work the focus beams in my top mounted range finder an old news paper photographer told me all it needed to work was 2 AA batteries. Happily I went home, removed the factory block of wood, replaced it with 2 batteries, pressed the red button, and low and behold let there be light!

There was a problem though. The beam only produces enough light to be useful in a nearly black (not just dark) room. Also it’s not a true split beam, more like a circle of brown light with a bluish small spot that I try and center inside the brownish not quite a circle. Is this correct or should every thing be brighter and more separate?

Thanks Alot

David

When everything is working properly you will see enlarged images of the filiment projected on the subject. It sounds like the bulb or other parts are out of alignment.
