anybody has a Zorki 1/Fed 1 to sell for parts?

I just need the spool spindle (fork style),
if you have a broken Zorki/Fed, its parts could help me out a lot.

thanks

The spool spindles in Zorki and FED are not exactly similar. For which one is the spool you need? The difference is relevant to the type of spool which would be used with them. The later FED-1 used short spindles which would allow both Zorki and FED spools to fit. The Zorki-1 used long spindles (which engaged with the protruding pin opposite the tripod nut on the baseplate) which would only allow Zorki or Leica spools to fit- those from later FED won't.

However, the spindles can fit either camera. In fact, a spindle from a later FED-3 can be put in a Zorki-1 or FED-1.

Is the original spindle in your camera missing? There is very little that can be done on these spindles which can seriously damage them beyond repair.

I have some loose spindles around. PM me.
