Hello all,
I recently purchased an old yashica A and it is in fully working order, only some minor cosmetical problems.
The focus knob is damaged, but functional. I would like to replace it with a better one if possible.
The back plate (over the film loading bay) is also a little bit damaged and could benefit from a replacement.
If someone still has the top assembly (ground glass, metal frame, name plate, magnifying glass,…) this would be helpfull too.
I have a ground glass in there that is functional, but it is not an original one.
Anyone have a recommendation where I could get new leather covering for the camera?
Thanks |

Where are you located? I have to see what parts I have for this. I know I have the top assembly but not with a nameplate. |

hi, I am located in Belgium (Europe).
The nameplate is not so important, but the top assy has had its best days.  |

I won't be able to check for this until Sunday. I have a lot of top assembies and ground glass, etc., but not sure about the pressure plate. The parts from the model C and D are interchangeable with the A except for the back door/pressure plate since the A uses a red window for film counting. |
