Mike-
George already summed up the possibilities for the Realist. Here are 
some others:

Kodak          Series 5
VM Personal    Series 5
Revere         Series 4

These are all built in, unless the retaining rings have been lost over 
the years, in which case you can use standard series 4 or 5 retaining 
rings. Look for the "Series" filters in junkier or used camera stores, 
they often have a box of them to sort through, and they are often a 
dollar each. Camera shows are another place to look, although usually 
somewhat higher. (The place where they told you a screw was missing in 
you cable release socket is NOT a good place to look-obviously if it's 
not a point and shoot, they don't know anything about it.) I have 
successfully used straight as well as tapered cable releases-either 
should work if you can screw them into the hole!

The best I can tell, the TDC cameras and the VM Mark II don't have any 
standard way of using filters, although the TDC VIVID does have screw 
threads between series 5 and 6, if you can find an adapter to fit.

If you have no luck anywhere else, you can always get this stuff from 
Dalia.
