Find replacement shoe for SB-24 flash

[snow_wang]

I have a Nikon SB-24 flash. The mounting shoe is broken. I called

NIKONUSA for the replacement and they told me the SB-24 flash is

discontinued and they don't have the replacement shoe anymore. Can

anybody tell me where to find a spare part of the shoe for SB-24?

Take it to any decent camera repair shop, Unless i am mistaken it is the same

part used in the SB-25/26/& 28 speedlights.

The SB 26 will fit, but not the SB 28. The 24and 26 have a plug in connection to the flash..The SB 28 somewhat more complicated. If you find one they are very simple to change...Stay away from the SB 28. Don't even think about opening it up..

I had mine replaced by Mora in Washington DC. Mr. Mora was able to fit mine with a shoe from an SB-26 for ~$80. Can't even tell the difference except the SB-26 has an extra hole in the bottom.

I have the same problem and found that Huron Camera sells replacement shoes for SB-20, 25 and 28, all for $15:

As it has been said, 28 wouldn't fit, same for 20 (looks too different), but 25 looks very promising to me. On some other site I've read that SB-25 is essentially SB-24 with just minor improvements. My only concern is that it seemingly has a small notch where 24's shoe has the hole for one of the three screws, but I'll give it a try anyway, hope it will fit somehow or I'll find a way to cope with it.
