I have put in a replacement screw (non-shouldered) and used a little loc-tite to keep it in place (a la RichS, and, per bertsaunders suggestion, I have looked down the bellows and seen the next twelve screws I need to remove to dissasemble the front standard. These screws have not been taken care of. I want to be able to replace about half of them once I remove them,{heads are damaged from sloppy screw driver work). I am looking for a parts source. I need one shouldered screw and a set of bellows retaining screws. Does anyplace specialize in the small items (for sale)? I have a repair manual now (copy) and am a little more confident. As a side note, while looking on ebay for a "parts" camera, I slipped and now have an "XL" on the way.  Guess I will now have to update my profile and move to the XL help area too. Again, thanks to all who have responded. This is a Great Group. | ||

 You could try calling Fred Lustig. He does repairs, but I don't think he sells parts? Worth a try though. Next would be the usual recomendation of a good hobby shop that deals in model trains. They usually have a large selection of small screws. Another shot might be someone like MSC Industrial Supply Co. at http://www.mscdirect.com/ . They have all sorts of hardware... And just an observation. If those bellows scres are mangled, the broken one probably wasn't your fault. It may have been broken before and not repaired correctly? And tell me about spares and slips! I just got done paying for a GVI only because it had the compendium lens hood attached... Well, I wanted a GVI anyway I suppose... | ||

Let me know if you need help. Dave Parker Kalispell, MT | ||
