NIKON NOS Parts miracle

[_goodtimez]

Hi Folks,

Once in a while luck is just around the corner. I came over a huge amount of New Old Stock Parts for NIKON F, F2, F3, MD-1, MD-2, MD-3, F-36. I could not resist buying it.
I believe there are around 70 000 parts in this lot ! This must be coming from a factory, as there are too many parts here for a single repairman.
There are so much boxes that I could not take a single photograph, so I made a video clip.
Enjoy:

I had the same comment when I unpacked it. Of course I don't plan to keep it all for myself, or I would need 100 lives minimum to use it.
In case someone looks for a specific part please send me a picture of the wanted item and email it to me: joanbont@yahoo.com

That will bring you some decent revenues for sure! I would set up an eBay shop like LeicaParts with that stock. You will have to improve on spelling when taking that shop as an example, though 😉

Photograph the parts with color codes for different models and stock numbers, so you can distinguish them.

Just today I noticed the lens prong coupling on one of my Nikkormat FTn bodies is slipping, causing the meter values to get fauled up. I might be in touch with you once I have figured out how to fix that and a part would be needed!

Oh Geez...I wouldn't know what to do with all that...WOW!!!

I know who to call now when I fix my Fs!

Oh, I really need that screw I think to have seen at 1:17..... 😀 😀 😀
Joking aside you might have something to deal with local Nikon repair facilities.
By the way, if - by the time - you mean to catalog all that stuff, I'll give a look when F6 / F100 / FM3A items are listed...

Great find, though!

I sent a message too, I hope the people from this thread (http://rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=106230)
are offline enjoying their vacations now. 🙂

Do you have a set of external screws for a 35ti compact? Sorry, don't know the part number.

I'd bet this guy, Sover Wong, ace Nikon repair guy, would luv to have some of them-soverf2repair at yahoo dot com.

Thank you folks for your answers. Many parts are not sorted so I have decided on a plan to sort them by type (screws, springs, glass, knobs a.s.o.)
The first thing I did was to order 2000 Ziplocs...
All of these parts are in new condition, no corrosion or grease or dust.
The more I look at them, the more I discover new stuff, like I know now there are Nikkormat FT parts in the lot.
Still there is a lot of work planned to organize this lot but for sure these parts need to serve, not stay in the dark.
I can be reached at joanbont@yahoo.com in case one of you needs something but until I sort them is may be a little long for me to find small pieces.

Hi,

Now's the time to tell us they were 99p on ebay... ;-)

Euhh, not exactly !
Actually I took the risk buying them despite the fact I could not really see them all.
