Mark Z Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I was using my A-1 when the AT dial guard cracked and fell off. I'd like to replace it, so I'm searching for the part. Do any of you happen to have an A-1 you are using for parts, and would you be willing to sell me the dial guard? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willem_gerrits Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Interesting, I experienced the same thing a few months ago. The guard and the guard housing cracked and fell off. Now the camera's internals are visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Z Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Willem, it is a little disconcerting to see some of the camera's guts. Since I haven't found a replacement part, I'm considering just gluing something over that spot and calling it good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Duct (duck) or, better, Gaffers tape is always good..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith S in Arizona USA Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 MARK Z --- try calling Canon film camera repair specialist Ken Oikawa. He is (in California U.S.) at 951-246-9136. "My film died of exposure." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Z Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 JDM, thanks for suggesting gaffers tape. Keith, Mr. Oikawa has worked on my cameras before, including my A-1. I'm sure he'd have the part. Thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Not sure what the part is like, but with all the 3D printers around, given the pieces, someone could likely print a new one for not a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
