Trying to find O ring for Nikon SB-104

Hello,

I am trying to breathe some life into some old strobes. However, I am missing an o-ring for the Nikonos SB-104. This is the main body o-ring for the battery compartment (on the strobe, not the one on the battery compartment cap).

Does anyone have one they do not need. Or know where I can buy one?

Alex

Do you know the size? - I have a bag of spare Nikonos o-rings so might be able to help.

Thanks Jim,

It is one of the orange ones - so quite thick. Without the o-ring I cannot give an accurate measurement. Maybe someone with this o-ring can measure theirs!

It is about 15cm in diameter?

Alex

Sorry - no orange ones in my collection

Helix supposedly has them at $20 a set.

Thanks Bill,

I will have a look and see how the shipping works out to the UK.

Helix don't seem to have an overseas shipping option. From their list of 10+ shipping options, only two are not (US only) and neither of these would work with my order. So back to square one.

Any other suggestions?

I can get one for you and send it on via US post.

Hi Bill,

Thank you for the offer of help. I think that is the best solution. If you can calculate the cost of the shipping from you to Europe (they should fit in a normal envelope) - I can send you the amount for the o-ring from Helix, their shipping and then the postage to me - with Paypal.

Probably best to continue this discussion on email - mine is alex(at)amustard.com
