Has anyone seen a advance wheel like this ? I can't find any photos of what a Late Olympus Trip 35 thumbwheel looks like, mine skips and wobbles. I got the camera for nothing and fixed it all up but the last thing to do is fix the thumb wheel any help thanks

If it wobbles and skips, chances are there's a bushing or some other piece missing. How is it intended to be held in place? I'm assuming it's supposed to be secured top and bottom - check the fit at both points.
 
I looked at it again and noticed whoever used it before snapped it T_T I tried super glueing it back but the broken piece is stuck now and won't move :( I feel stupid lol, well at least i know how to fix trips now though
 
Hi,

Keep your eyes open and you'll find one dirt cheap because it's too far gone but it might still yield parts for your one. Most duds I've seen suffer from neglect not wear and tear. Scrape the mould, fungus, crud and copper carbonate off and you'll find a mass of good parts.
