DSLR-200 framing misalignment problem

[DMagenta]

I want to give my enthusiastic son my old DSLR-200 for him to learn on but seems framing is off. The resulting photo is framed below what you see through the viewfinder. It's very noticeable. When I phoned Sony and my local camera shop they were both recommending sending to Sony for repair. But the cost could be more than the camera is worth. Has anyone come across similar issues and know how it can be fixed (and cost if you had to send to Sony for repair)?

Hello @DMagenta

have you tried to reset the camera settings? It'd also be really helpful if you could share a picture of the viewfinder problem in this thread.
