Nikon F3: find replacement Exposure Memory Lock Button

[Duckonhand]

Hi, I saw a post from 2023, which had various F3 bodies disasembled and with parts potentially available. Unfortunately, the thread is closed! I am trying to find a button/plunger that enables the AEL, housed within the lever that controls the mechanical only shutter release, lower right of the front face as you shoot it.

Nikon has confirmed there is no dead stock / NOS and I can’t find an OEM version.

Thank you

Scott

I'm not sure which thread you refer to, but you can still reach out to the user involved (@Andreas Thaler) via e.g. Photo.net where I believe he posts actively.
On Photrio we allow trading of stuff in the Classifieds section only.

Koraks, thank you. It was several years old and I can’t DM until I have made 20 posts here. I used to be on Photo.net, so assuming I can still log in, I will give it a go.
