Hi, You have probably had this question before, so apologies in advance.
I have just been given a Zorki 4 (1972) with a Watameter, universal view finder, lens hood, filters and a Jupiter 11 lens, all seem to be in good condition, except the take up spool is missing, no spindle nothing, is it difficult to get one or is it easier to buy a whole new camera and if so will the Jupiter 11 lens fit earleir and later models.

Slow learner,but keen!
Check out Alex Photo on Ebay for the Spool---he is very reliable,MUCH cheaper than replacing the camera body.The J12 will fit all the thread mount FSU variants.

PS the spool is removable,there should be a spindle,if not perhaps someone on the FSU Forum could help
