Well, I've completely stripped out this camera - except for the lens
panel, which totally rejects all my efforts at dissassembly! I think
there is a small part that tended to break in the film advance mechanism
- I guess that's what is gone on yours. For what it's worth, this was
the first spare part to run out...

On the other hand, none of the parts in the camera are particularly
complex, so you should be able to get a new part made up from scratch -
if you have a pattern...

I MIGHT be persuaded to lend you the part from my camera. You might want
to bribe me by offering to get your repairperson (when you find him) to
strip and lube my lens panel (I'll do the final setup and adjust).

By the way, Eric Goldstein told me that he had had his Belplasca
stripped and lubed recently.

Best of luck
