I have had mine since new, (mid 80's) it was actually stolen once,(and returned a few weeks later!) and my name was gouged off the bottom. I was wondering if it was possible to replace that bottom plate? (kind of unsightly when I remove the power winder! Thanks!

Yes, just remove the three screws, and the plate comes right off.

OK, I will continue the conversation with myself, "No, Mike, the AE-1 and AE-1P will not interchange..." THanks!
(I looked at some photos on the net...)

Gets lonely doesn't it Mike? :-)

I bet someone here has an AE-1P bottom plate...but is afraid you'll put your name on it. Try asking in the swap meet section.

Sorry, I don't have an extra bottom...

Naah, I learned since being a teen-ager in the eightys... things are not forever. I won't put my name on it again, I promise!

Mike:

No, the AE-1 plate will not work with your AE-1P (although an A-1 will but its black).

I happen to have a spare AE-1P bottom plate if you are interested ($15.00, includes shipping).

You can contact me at [email protected] if you're interested.
