I feel like the beamsplitter's position can change a great deal depending on how lose the arm is and after cleaning/repair it definitely shifts. How does one position it properly?
I just cleaned mine and now I see two triangles at the bottom of the viewfinder (used to see nothing because the glass elements were all very dirty).
