The three tiny screws that keep the back plates of my waist level finder together have come off for some reason, and have disappeared, and the thin metal band which is supposed to sit on the inside and keep the screws in place has come loose. Now the finder is basically useless unless I glue it shut in the unfolded position. Where can I get hold of replacement screws? Thanks! |

Find your local camera repair man/shop and explain your problem. You might find they have something that will do the job, they may even let you rummage through the scrap bin for something suitable. I have a large assortment of odds and ends that I acquired from my local repair firm, for the price of a couple of pints! Whilst it was just a box of scrap that had been stripped of any useful parts to them, I have found it to be an endless source of undamaged springs, screws and small cosmetic parts. I do not know the exact size of the screws you require, but I have used Canon A Series top/bottom plate screws in repairs on other makes of photographic equipment. Your local repair firm may even have some scrap RB67 bits, stranger things have happened. |
