part for LX-winder

dreamsof"LX" · 02-26-2015, 05:20 AM

Recently I got myself an LX in excellent condition .
It came a.o. with a fully functional winder - with only one snag : the cover on the el.connector on the left side is missing.
Perhaps not a big thing but the longer I have to look at it the bigger it gets.

Any suggestions as to where I might find this part ?

thanks in advance

I have seen it occasionally on eBay.

To search for it on eBay you'll need to know what it's called. In the winder's instruction manual, the socket is called both "remote control socket", and "remote control terminal". The cover for that socket/terminal is called "cap".

Perhaps the Ricoh/Pentax head office in your country still has old stock of that item.
