Hi all, please could anyone assist with this one. I have a 1983 Canon F-1N with a broken Diaphram Release Lever (Possible P/n. 13-9573) ...
Can any one supply or know a man who can?
Many thanks in anticipation.

I have always found that professional repair firms are willing to supply from their stock of parts bodies, items that do not normally break/fail. Find your local Canon specialist and ask, cash in the bank is better than a bin full of scrap bits. |

Hi Glenn, thank you for your comments, however over here in England there are virtually no repair firms supporting the F-1N now.
Anyone care to offer a good sound supplier - Worldwide is fine!
Thank you

John,
I am located in Leeds. For a starter try the repair firms that advertise in the AP, most have quite large 'graveyard' stocks and I am sure somebody will have a F-1N or two in the bin. I have had great success obtaining old Canon bits from Colchester Camera Repairs, they have been Canon specialists for years. Do Google search for their website info. |

Hi Glenn, thank you for the input however CCR were next to useless and said they have not had parts for several years and have no wrecked bodies either. |

John,
Look in the back of the AP and try the firms who advertise there. I knew CCR had used/sold the last of their FD factory spares. I suppose the problem with the F-1N is that they don't wear out easily, the only chance of a damage body will be one that has fallen off a cliff or under a bus! Having said that, I have seen some pretty poor examples at recent camera fairs - so there must be some about. |
