Canon P parts?

[Brian Legge]

Does anyone know where to get Canon P parts - beyond waiting for a parts camera to show up on ebay?

I recently picked up a Canon P in need of a bit of work. Most I can do myself but the self timer has some issues. The initial screw which secures it - the one requiring a spanner to take off - is missing. It looks like the part it drives may have been stripped. Sorry about the terminology, I don't know the correct name for either part.

I really only need this pair of parts. Unfortunately the parts cameras I've seen sell went for close to the price of a fully working P; they were too nice and complete. Does anyone have a better recommendation for tracking down the parts I need?

The only seller I know with parts for Canon rangefinders is DAG and I don't see what I need there.

Edit: To be clear, I'm not soliciting anything. I'm not opposed to posting a 'wanted' in the ads here as I figure the chances of someone sitting on parts to be low. I'm mostly looked for good suggestions about where to look for parts as I'm not familiar with Canon LTM repair people who who may have parts on hand.

My suggestion is check w/ KEH and Pacific Rim. Maybe the parts you need are shared w/ the Model 7.....cheaper and more plentiful.

Good luck!

I'll have to check my parts bin.

I also read the Wanted Ads. Reminds me to check them.

On the original question, I scour Ebay for parts cameras when I do not have what I need. I also pick up a number of Parts cameras in trades. I have ended up with boxes of stuff, and view it as a mission to help others to get old cameras working again.
