Hi guys,
I have a question: I just received a "new" Zorki-4 . The camera works perfectly and looks almost like new but unfortunately this little piece of plastic the film is normally mounted on is missing.
I mean the removable black reel/ spool that "holds" and reels the film...
Do you know where I could get something like that - without this little pice of sh...... the camera is unusable ?
Thank You Very Much

If you have a Spool Holder like the one on the Left (MIR, as Z-4)
Make sure the hole in the nipple is larger than the take-up than other Zorkies. or it want seat all the way.. Quote from Fedka...
"Peter,
This is not only about the nipple hole size. There is also a pin inside the spool that engages with the those 4 cutouts on the MIR spindle.
I do have this spool. Most likely it will be a modern plastic spool for Zorki-4, which is also used for MIR".
Fedka has them for $14.00 total..for US market. Just order a part that is $10.00 + $4.00 s/h..then make a comment that you need a Take-UP spool for a Zorki-4/MIR...He will ship THAT instread of whatever item you picked out...That's what he tool me to do if I wanted pay by CC, not PayPal. For Paypal..Ask him for that item and to to send an Invoice to your email. Mention that it is ti pay by PayPlal.
