Canonet ql17 Giii parts question

[stp_rangefinder]

Hi there,

I just got one of these off ebay, it's not in the best shape, but the basic functions mainly work 🙂

Can anybody tell me where I can get

1. The tiny screws that hold the top 1/3 of the camera onto the body (there are 3 screws - 1 on the back and 1 on each side). You can see them in the back and oblique view pictures on the PhotoEthnography site:

2. The thumb-lever used to rotate the focusing ring (you can see it on the front views on the same website above)

Thanks everybody!

You won't find these at a hardware store and I suspect that the ones at eyeglass stores are the wrong thread pitch..

Got it. Thanks for the great advice you guys!

A canonet 28 is a good candidate as donor, usually, since it is cheap and many parts are interchangeable.
Not the lens, of course.
