Fixing a 1985 Nikon FE2 last week made me miss the old parts catalogs
Three years ago, I could call a guy in Chicago and get a replacement shutter speed dial in two days. Last month, I spent three hours just finding a cross-reference for a tiny spring. Anyone else have a go-to spot for old mechanical bits now?

Honestly, have you tried asking in old-school camera repair shops for their dead parts bins?

Read a blog post about someone finding rare parts that way.
