I purchased an almost mint black Nikon FE2 SLR in the auction site.Well, the foam need to be replaced and I'm too nervous to do it myself,I prefer to pay someone to do it professionally.There is also some really minor scratches on the bottom plate and on the base of the lens mount,to call it that way,where it meets the bottom plate,you might know exactly where it is.I will rather have the bottom plate replaced by a new one.Now,I have a source to find a new bottom plate,my ignorant question is: Is there anything to worry about removing the bottom plate beside the two small Phillips head screws? Is not,I can do it myself,yeah right,proud of that  .
Any particular place where I should send the camera for the foam replacement? Preferably someplace where they do a good work and is reasonable priced.
Thanks in advance,
A truly newbie here,

Bob: Nothing to worry about in taking off the bottom plate. I can do the foam and seals for you (have done thousands) and will only charge you about 30.00 + 7.50 to reship. Deal? Art @ www.flcamerarepair.com |

Bossman,I just sent you an email. How much will cost you a new bottom plate for a Nikon FE2 black and its installation?
Thank you
Robert |
