Parts for original "Asahi Pentax"

minitw · 07-27-2012, 07:32 PM

I have a "Tower 26" camera, which is better known as the original "Asahi Pentax" from 1957. Unfortunately, the camera's film advance is broken and I am trying to find the parts to fix it. Does anybody know what camera bodies have compatible parts?

Maybe Eric, the Pentax repair guy can help you, if no one here on the forum has any suggestions...
