I have an Argus C3 Matchmatic which has made some nice pictures for me. I noticed recently that the rangefinder wasn't working properly, and opening it up revealed that one of the little cast metal hooks that holds the coil spring is broken. The piece I need is shown in the attached photo. |

I do still need the part, and would be very pleased to get it.
I have to admit to being surprised by the failure of the spring anchor. I had thought the C3 design was clunky, but solid. However, it seemed pretty clear that the part was poorly formed, and the spring pressure just pulled the top off. |

Thanks for your generous response. I've been able to help out a few people here in the past, so it is nice to see that there is still a viable community of old camera nuts.

I thought the part I need was in the mail, but apparently not. So, if anyone has some spare C3 parts, I would greatly like to obtain the rf unit shown above. |

I appreciate the effort. I've also sent a couple to you. The message system has worked ok for me in the past, but maybe something is broken.
