Hi,
My Minolta CLE went in for a much needed CLA in the UK a number of months ago but unfortunately returned without the small round black cover to the wind lever (pictured).

The repair specialist insisted that the cover was replaced during the CLA and suggested that the issue was not at their end. I only noticed the cover was missing half way through running the first film so I have no choice but to assume that it must have "fallen off" during this time - even though it had fastidiously remained in place for a number of years before the CLA. I would normally argue the point here but they have made their position clear and, of course, I have paid for the work done before the camera was dispatched - as per their terms and conditions.
So - given that I am always hearing that these little gems are paper weights once they develop an electrical fault - does anyone have one of these that they would be willing to part with the cover?
No idea on the value of this but hopefully I can find one first and be open to offers.....
Thanks in anticipation,
James
