I found a Rollei 35s at my parents' house that has been unused for 20-something years. It is in great shape and takes great pictures, but it is missing the lens front trim ring. Is there anywhere I could get one of these? I don't want to replace the camera in its entirety because of the sentimental value. |

Phone all your local repair shops and ask for the part in question.Always works for me and a lot cheaper than buying a breaker off eBay. |

...except that you can resell the breaker on eBay for as much as you paid for it after you get the part off..... |

So they tell me,never seems to work for me.I suppose that I really cannot be bothered with the palaver of eBay listings - rather give the remaining bits away. |

another possibility is to let someone else buy the beater and then email them ask if they would like to sell you the part you need.... i've done that successfully... |
