brian_bridges Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 I have a Canon Speedlight 188A that is used on an AE-1 Program, but the plastic shoe mount on the flash has chipped. Is there anywhere that these can be ordered, any other repairs/modifications that I can try, or should I just look for another one on the used market? Thanks.

terry_carraway Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 I would just look for another one. Or pick up a 199A. There aren't many parts around, and they aren't that expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deco1 Posted June 3, 2000 Share Posted June 3, 2000 Same thing happened to my 188A. If you still have the pieces, crazy glue works very well. If not, then buy another flash. I bought the used 199A for $99 instead. It's a better flash anyway. <p> You would think the manufacturer would learn that the hot shoe design isn't very rigid to handle slight abuses by now...but guess they'll never learn.
