I need a small piece for a shutter of Contax IIIa

[AsterixEtObelix]

Hello

I bought for a contax for repair. It is a Zeiss Contax Ikon IIIa. I found what was wrong with it. There is a small piece inside the shutter which should have a kind of L shape

Here is a picture with a red circle

This L shape of this piece allow the shutter to wait before closing the curtain. Actually because it doesnt retain the 2nd curtain it is impossible to set up a speed. It just open and shut the curtains straight away

So I need this small piece. Where can I get it except by buying a 2nd dead camera

Is there any good address of private collectors which can send me a replacement of this piece for a couple of $ ?

Thanks a lot for the answers

By the way all the rest seems to be fine and working

If the Contax III has the same shutter mechanics, a Keiv Clone of the Contax III will provide a parts body., still not a few bucks, but under $75...

Just thought it may work.

You might contact Henry Scheer and just ask for a part. Just don't ask him for a part from a Kiev.
