Want to Buy WTB: Junk Nikon F3 or bottom plate screws

[ColdEye]

Almost done fixing an F3, but I dont have the screws that hold the bottom plate. If you have those, or a junker F3 with the screws still, I'll take it.

The same screws are used on the contemporaneous FM2 & FE2. Probably used on all metal Nikons.

Check with Karl K. He might have the screw and sell it to you.

Thank you both for the info. I'll check some junk FM/FE and EMs too.

I sold a part F3 to Karl K. for $25. I hope he would sell the OP the screws for reasonable amount of money.

Yes that is insane. One idea is to take a matching screw that you already have from the camera, and go to an optician and see if they have anything that is the same.

Thanks guys, that link has one for $9, but still. I am scouring ebay for junk EMs as they seem to be the cheapest.
