Spare part for Nikon F4 - 1K640-893

<p>

<p>Does anyone know where I could find a spare 1K640-893 with the small pin that is broken 1K360-043 ? These are two assembled parts immediately underneath the rewind crank. I would be happy to purchase a used one , however functional<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>If it were me, being somewhat nuts and handy ...<br>

Presuming you have the rewind crank off, you could measure the hole diameter, guesstimate length and just cut some pieces of wire from something like oh ... 0.050" (1.25mm) stainless or the appropriate diameter, cut to approximate lengths. Cut and try approach, barring getting used parts or a trashed body somewhere.<br>

<p>Thanks. I had tought of a kind of repair like this. However the pin is very small in diameter. A tiny coil spring is attached to it. The camera was placed in a foam nest in a suitcase and the lever attached to the other side of the spring got permanently deflected by the foam and as result, the plastic holding the pin got deformed....</p>
