Home for a Parts MX

Robert92A1 · 08-24-2020, 05:08 PM - **3 Likes**

I purchased a pretty rough “for parts” MX on eBay for the shutter release lock knob I need it for my MX. Is there a Pentax forum member who specializes in parting out cameras that I can send this to when I’m through? I have enough things in my house I don’t need to archive a parts camera also.

P.S. I am new to the Pentax forum and I am returning to the hobby/obsession after raising children. I have my original Super Program and Pentax-A lenses. I have recently purchased a very clean MX to you have a fully manual camera. I have my eye on a K-1 Mark II for my birthday.

Thanks Bob

Eric Hendrickson is perhaps the foremost Pentax technician in the US. A bit of a legend

How about Ismael Gonzalez (ismaelg)? He’s rebuilding cameras from next to nothing.

If you have an extra cover for where the winder fits on the bottom let me know.

The camera has not been delivered, but photo shows both covers on the bottom of the camera in place. Be happy to send it to you. Send me your info to my email are bycraft@jack-post.com. I’ll drop it in the mail for you.

One of the grest things about Eric is that when you donate a parts Pentax to him, he uses the parts so that other Pentaxs that are sent him for repairs can live again.

Update - Scavenged the shutter release lock knob I needed and sent a winder cover to a fellow pentaxian in Ohio.

Will be listing on EBay for a bit over the cost of postage - please buy it and take what you need.
