Hey everyone, I've got an Ikoflex I that was non-funcitoning as received and I did a CLA on, but there is one part that is damaged and I am looking for a replacement for, the cam that lives under the advance knob.
There is a small tab on this cam that prevents the knob that interfaces with a spring loaded locking lever to prevent the knob from moving forward between each frame that was broken off at some point. I actually found the little bit floating around in the mechanism, which is caused it to bind and is why the camera was completely non-funcitonal in the first place. The tab is part of the stamped metal cam, and its tiny size makes it impractical to solder or braze back on, so I am looking for the entire cam.
I've searched all the usual suppliers on the web and have not been able to find one, so I was hoping one of you fine folks had an irretrievably broken body that you might be willing to pull the part from and send to me, at my expense, of course.
Thanks!

This is the so-called "coffee can" Ikoflex? Just trying to clarify in case there are some potential donors out there.

The naming conventions on the Ikoflex versions are super confusing. The "Coffee Can" is usually just called the "Ikoflex."
The one I have is the one that on the manual and packaging is actually called "Ikoflex I." It has a flat, rectangular front, silver Ikoflex logo plate, Black Zeiss logo panel on top, and Novar Anastigmat 7.5cm f/3.5 lens.
Here's a link to the manual for reference:
And here's a picture of the part I need in situ. This is directly below the advance knob.
