K-3 Gate needed..

[Gareth Blackstock]

Hello,

 

I will be converting my K-3 in the near future, I already have the re-centered ring but I still want to get hold of a spare gate to widen, just in case I mess it up, a spare would be ideal.

 

Anyone have one?

 

Cheers, Gareth

Might be easier just to buy another camera...aren't they about $150 these days?

G'day,

 

I was very lucky concerning the gate, a helpful member in Sydney posted me one free of charge. Much appreciated. Strangely enough I was contacted by a film maker in California chasing a super8 camera part, so I sent it free of charge. I figure one good deed deserves another.

 

When I get around to the conversion I will be sure to take lots of pics and post on my site...
