Yeah, moving my eye around the viewfinder did make things in focus via viewfinder.

Am contacting KEH sales, see what they says. But I love how this ME Super feels.
From all that you've said and the fact that you wear glasses, I'm inclined to think that your ME Super is fine and it's just a matter of getting used to the split screen and/or getting a diopter adjustment. How is the splitscreen if you wear your glasses?
The optical design of a split screen is kind of interesting in that the light doesn't actually focus on the split screen surface but passes through to your eye. The carved shape in the plastic is actually two little half-lenses for refracting light coming from different parts of the lens aperture. If the lens is in focus then the two half-images will line up on the centerline of the splitscreen.
But that optical design can play tricks with people who wear glasses or need glasses because their eyes might not be correctly focusing the image coming through the little half-lenses. And if one's eye is off-center in the viewfinder, one of the half-lenses may be looking through the edge of the lens aperture, making it dim or fuzzy.
Good luck & enjoy the ME Super!
