Nikkormat FTn part

[ray*j*gun]

Well i can't believe that I did this but somehow I lost the base plate battery cap for my black Nikkormat FTn. I always remove the battery when not in use and I think the cap was not tight and it fell off without me noticing (really easy at this point of my life).

So anyone know where I might find a cap (which doesn't need to be black) as long as it fits an FTn. I tried evil bay but no luck. Pete Smith seems to be out of touch these days also.

Please help if you can.

Thanks!!!

Other alternative would be to buy a broken FTn (with the battery cover)

Then Evil Bay comes back on stage 🙂

Delray Cameras houses Pete Smith of Nikonsmith. He is premier Nikon repairman of last 40 years, but he has been ill lately. Anyway give them a call, maybe Pete is back 561-278-3331

You could try emailing John Titterington JTCamera@aol.com
He works a lot on Nikkormats

Raymond,
I have one on a black Ftn I've used for spares. It's got the usual burrs where people have opened with a screw driver but it works. If you can't find one close to home then let me know and you can have this one. If there is anything else you need then I have one here for parts.
