Mamiya RB67 Parts Needed!

[ShiningSeas]

The right-handed focus knob on my RB67 recently broke into two pieces. The body is in great condition, and I don't want to trash the whole thing due to a small piece.

Is there an online parts source for this camera that someone could direct me to? No luck on ebay.

Is that the same knob as used on the C series TLR's? If so, I might have one as I have a couple C series parts cameras. Anybody know?

Your talking about the plastic breaking in half?
JB Weld to the rescue.. have used this so many times, a great product. Works on metal and most plastics, which isn't often realized.

From the above web page:
" ... lasting repairs to metal and multiple surfaces."

The latter works very well once allowed to set up and cure. Should be available at hardware stores and home improvement stores here in the us.

The RB67 has two focus knobs, right-handed and left-handed.
So what you are telling us is that you would trash the whole camera if it had only one focus knob left?

op... it would help to know your location in your profile so we have an idea how ro send tge part to you.

which knob broke? is this a pro or plain rb? makes a difference, one has the focusing lock n the other doesnt.

The Right Side.?
Yeah, i would think if you cannot glue it together, you could just get any knobish thing on there.?
I was trying to see if mine has a set screw.......

hahaha yeah, right side of which model was what I meant.. i guess I worded it wrong.

the RB knobs have a threaded insert and are kept in by a locking nut. Since the OP hasn't come back, I guess he found a solution.
