Hello all,

New to the board member. I am looking for the return spring for the MAT 124 meter. Its a small spring that attaches to the side of the round outer side of the meter and then goes in front of the meter barrel.
Does anyone know of a suitable replacement and where I could find one other than scavenging parts from another camera?

Thanks!

maybe you can make a spring using metal guitar string? match the gage n you are good to go. your problem would then be getting one as a template unless you are crafty and can make a jig.

finding the 124 offered as parts is rare although Ive seen some going fairly cheap in classifieds on other photo sites.
