mervyn_wilmington Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 <p>Might any members be able to tell me of a source for magazine seals in the UK, please? There is one person from Italy selling on ebay, but I've seen no advice about the quality etc.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac_hordam Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 <p>I've been scratching my head trying to think of the guy who seemed to be the preferred ebay seller of light seals. Finally the scratching has worked, it was Jon Goodman who traded as Interslice on ebay.<br> He doesn't seem to have anything there now but this thread<br> http://cameracollector.proboards.com/thread/7129/light-seals<br> might give some leads as it mentions him with a link or two. I used his seals to repair a Mamiya RZ and have no complaints. Someone mentions funky foam in that forum thread, (on page 2), which you can get in the UK from Amazon<br> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Funky-Sheets-Children-Craft/dp/B00L3EXWMU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424801610&sr=8-2&keywords=funky+foam+a4</p> <p>Good luck</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mervyn_wilmington Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 <p>Thanks for that Mac. I'll see if it leads anywhere. A year or two ago, I came across a chap in the UK who offered many light seal kits, but when I got in contact he didn't have them for the Hasselblad. Brighton or Bournemouth is in my mind, but then my mind plays tricks!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_watson1 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 <p>No experience with Hasselblad backs but |I've resealed my Mamiya and Bronica backs. Why not search for DIY links for Hasselblad back light seal replacement?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardMiller Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 <p>Hmmmm, he's not in the UK, but the fellow I've bought all my seal kits from in the US is <br> <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/blackbird711/m.html?_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1">blackbird711</a><br> They're good quality products, he furnishes complete and well-written and illustrated instructions, and he really doesn't charge much for postage to the UK, especially if you order multiple seals. I've done several backs, both of my own and for my regular camera dealer and his other customers with these kits.<br> If you're looking for a semi-official source of them located in country, you might try either of these:<br> <a href="http://www.happyblad.com">HappyBlad</a><br> <a href="http://www.classicv.co.uk">ClassicV</a><br> Good luck!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
