I have one Zenit 18 body with a little problem: One of the 2 battery door on the baseplate is missing and the screw of this door is broken in the baseplate. I have 2 options: If someone here has a complete base plate for Zenit 18 to sell, I will be very happy to buy it at a price that makes seller and buyer happy. If not , I have to find a battery door for Zenit 19 with screw (Zenit 19 battery door is the same but there is only one). I will just have to find how to remove the part of scerw remaining in the baseplate of my camera. I think it is possible. I can also buy a faultly Zenit 19 if this camera is complete, especially baseplate...
But otherwise they show up from time to time on eBay, there are none listed now, but there are plently for very similar western-made ones that you can also use, just type in "Wooden tripod" into eBay search and plenty would come up.
