Need part for a Nikon bellows

[JParsons]

Happy New Year, all! What a good way to start, finding a new forum of interest.

Getting right to the point, I need a part for a Nikon PB-4 bellows. One was broken off the borrowed unit when I shipped it for bellows repair (my fault), and I'm hoping to find a spare out ther somewhere. The needed part is one of the locking knobs on the right side of the bellows unit -- the knob which locks the slide/film holder in place. I would like to hear from anyone with information where I might find what I need.

Thanks in advance.

By the way, I got excellent repair service on the bellows from a place in Birmingham, England.

Well, you might want to check Ebay for a cheap used bellows to use for parts. At first I thought you could just goto a hardware store and pickup a screw and screw it in, then I took mine out and realized that wouldn't work.

Do you need an exact replacement, or just one that works? If you just need one that works and you've got a friend who knows how to machine stuff, he could make you one.

My thoughts too - it seems like used bellows attachments are very inexpensive. This is especially true of ones that have a bad bellows (the flexible part) and it wouldn't make any difference for using it as parts. Replacing the bellows might be tough which usually translates to "expensive" but this might be easy. However, it might take some time to find one to use for parts.
