I have recently got hold of two konica s2 rangefinder cameras neither of which seems to have the rangefinder square showing in the viewfinder. The parralax line correction is ok but no double image. If you look back through the rangefinder window from the front of the camera there is nothing visible. It seems a coincidence to pick two cameras up with the same problem. Am I missing something simple?

sounds like maybe the right-hand mirrors came unglued.

Check out the article called "Konica Auto S1.6 Repair Adventure" at http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/. I have the same camera with the same problem.
