It looks complete and in good shape but missing the instructions. Does anyone know how to use one of these things or know where I can get original instructions? Seem like it is from 1968. Any help is greatly appreciated

B4A is the newer model that had everything built into the aimer housing. A call to the company turned up empty. The manufacturer sold to another company that doesn't have older documentation. I have the older B4 model that has separate light meter and site.
