Hello. I recently picked up my first rangefinder (Wards am551). I’ve never used a rangefinder before but in doing some research, I realize the viewfinder should have a yellow box or something similar that indicates out of focus. However my viewfinder only has a border but nothing in the center. I’m assuming something is missing or broken. Can this be repaired? If so, any tips or recommendations on how to go about that?

My first rangefinder

Zorki 1 with industar 61 ld. I love it! I feel so stupid for clinging to SLRs. Only had it for half a day though, any pitfalls i should know? (I read the manual so i know about not changing the shutter speed before priming the shutter, switching from 500 to z etc) Also have anyone tried making a strap for it? The leather case looks ugly, and mine didn't have one anyways.
