Hi all I'm new here.
I use a IIIf red Dial which I love. About three years ago I went on a photo trip, and when I got back unloaded the camera on the table, then processed all the film I had shot on the same table. I must have thrown out the cameras film take up spool with the plastic film canister ones, as I could not find it after that. Arrrrigh!
After a long search I found a web site that will supply you with a brand new one for £30.00. I phoned him and was sent the spool in two days. It is beautifully made and works perfectly. My camera is now back on the road after three years, hooray!
Camera repairs Luton will also re-silver your viewfinder, overhaul the camera or re-coat it with black lacer or green ect. His web page is: http://www.angelfire.com/biz/Leica/
Hope you find this useful, he is in the UK. Cheers, nick.
