FED puzzle

Recently I have bought this FED in condition which can be seen at first photo.
It's a pitty this beautiful camera is in parts. So I'd like to assemble it. I can see there are no screws and there are no one of two small lamellas which are behind pressure plate. This small lamella is not a problem but screws are a small problem.

So now I have few questions:
1) Do you think I have all parts needed to assemble the camera ?
2) Is this vulcanite adequate for this serial number of camera ?
3) Where can I find screws which are similar to those which are missed in my camera ?

Hi Alfa,

At first sight, you have everything to remount the camera, except one of the springs behind the press film, and all the screws...

I confirm that you have the good vulcanite for the good serial number (a late 1b, always interesting before the 1c-s). The screw which tightens the shutter box to the body is already missing, like on my 51287: 3 numbers before. And you probably have a release button with concentric circles too.

For the screws, perhaps you will find what you look for there: http://www.ebay.fr/sch/nobbysparrow/m.html?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEFSXS%3AMESOI&_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2654
I must say I have one or two bodies which serve me as "givers" when necessary. But all the screws: it's too big for me.

Good luck. And tell me if you have problems: I have the sister camera!

Hi Jacques

Thank you for your help.
The most important that I have everything from this body, I mean everything suit this serial number. So it is worth to remount.
I have screws from Zorki C. They fit but they are little bit different - too glossy, as I remember.

Hi, if your Zorki C is a bottom loader you may be able to use the springs from behind the pressure plate to fit to the FED.

Cheers,

Steve

Thanks SteveA, I know.
That is the reason why I have written spring was not a problem.

Just a detail, Alfa: you have the tiny screw inside the speed dial, and it is in a good condition?
A problem not easy to solve...

Jacques.

There is no the screw at all in my FED. I will try to take it from Zorki C.
