Parts for Nikonos SB-105?

5 posts
  1. I have a couple 105's that work great for my purposes, but recently I lost one of the tiny little red plastic clips that holds the rear battery terminal in place. Does anyone know if, or where, I can get one of these? I can rig something temporarily to wedge it in, but it would be nice to have it with the original pieces if possible. One of the pitfalls of using older gear I guess.

  2. I just saw 2 of them for sale on ebay. one of them was aking $13.

  3. Perfect! I looked on e-bay initially and didn't see anything. Now I will have a replacement and a spare. Thanks for the heads up.

  4. If you contact your local underwater strobe repairers they may well have some uneconomic to repair strobes with parts like this which they may be prepared to let you have. I still have 4 x SB105s but they are getting on now and starting to need more frequent service/repair - one has just lost internal prsssure as the cap is fitted indicating a failed seal somewhere....

  5. I am jealous that you have a local underwater strobe repairer. I e-mailed Pacific Housing Repair in California, thinking that they would be the best bet for parts for older equipment but never heard back. I called my local shop and they basically laughed when I said "Nikonos," so no luck there. I think ebay is my best bet for parts until I break down and get new strobes. Nice to know I am not the only one shooting these things though.
