Dear All,

My recently purchased IIIc (converted to IIIf BD) seems to work OK, judging from the film I put through it: no holes in the shutter or other light leaks, film advance working OK, etc.

For the sake of cosmetics, I'd ratgher like to replace the slow shutter speed dial and the crown that fits over it. The chrome is peeling off them and they look ugly, whereas the rest of the camera is clean (but not mint).

I know I can order the spare parts from DAG in the USA but does anyone know of a source in the UK? Also, is it easy enough to replace these two parts?

Grateful for any advice!

I have never done it myself but judging by this website:

it is the very first thing you attach when assembling the camera :- )

Try CRR in Luton. They seem to sell parts, alternatively I think they can rechrome your damaged parts.
