W: A good shop should have a supply on hand. ? the last time the camera has been serviced. You might consider some one like DAG to go through the camera clean, lube & adjust the speeds, plus new seals through out the camera. As when the one has a gone, the rest are there too. & there is one behind the mirror box assembly that does not get replace by the basic seal replacement as people are not aware of it. The F1 is one nice camera. I was with a friend in Santa Monica doing a promotion to have your equipment checked out in 1979. This guy brought this F1 in that had a layer of dirt & dust from sitting in his closet for something like ten years he said. Dusted it off & put it on the test equipment & it was bang on the money, even the shutter speeds. I was very impressed to say the least. He gave it to his girl friend to use. Lucky lady! Nice guy.
