Ok so I just bought this almost perfect Yashica TL-Electro. The only issue is that the screw top to the advance lever, or the winder has been stripped. I suspect that this part on the camera isn't the original because it's metal and all the Electros I have seen have had a black plastic one. So I'm in search of this little part, or for a remedy to my problem, cause I can't use the camera if I can't advance the film. IT seem slike the pervious owner had super glued or liquid metaled the screw in place and after time the bond just gave. I am not beneath doing just that. the camera cost me all of 10 bucks and if a 1.50 tube of super glue is easy fix..then so be it. but if anyone knows where I can track dow this part..that would be wonderful! or if you have any other suggestions for repair, thanks in advance

Given the value of the camera, you might not want to bother finding the exact match. I believe you might be able to replace that part from another similar camera, or even from a different brand. The screw thread sizes are quite common, as I found when I replace that exact part on my Yashica Electro 35 GSN with the equivalent from a Fuji. Good luck! |
