Trying to source replacement rewind knob / crank for Bessa R3A
Hi
The crank handle on the rewind knob of my R3A has broken off and been lost somewhere on the way back from Iceland! Does anyone know of a source in the UK, either just for the part or someone who could provide a repair service? I've already asked Newton Ellis and Protech Repairs and neither could help. Thanks Paul |

How about contacting the importers? Sorry I don't know who they are or were now, but one of the bigger dealers should be able to help.

A couple of ideas:
-try looking for a cheapo non working body to cannibalize. -a skilled machinist might be able to replicate the part. Cheers, M. |

Hi Paul,
I had similar woes getting my R2 rewind crank replaced. You could try Robert White, the official Voigtlander dealer (I think) :- http://www.robertwhite.co.uk/ I got my Bessa R2 rewind lever replaced and camera serviced by Graham at GRES http://www.gres.co.uk/gres.htm Hope that helps
