Canon IIf parts

[noexit]

I just got a Canon IIf from my grandpa, who used it a lot for about 20 years, then gave it to my uncle, who lost a couple of it's parts... Luckily, he didn't do any more damage to it; the shutter seems to function very well at all speeds, and the lens is great.

I was able to find a bottom plate on eBay for a fairly good price, but I haven't seen any take up spool. I've been told that early Leica spools will work, but that I should hold out for a Canon spool, which is much nicer. Does anyone know where I might find one?

Found one! Now it's time to see how this old thing shoots!

I'd be very curious to hear the story of how the heck he lost the bottom plate to the camera.
