The used site is at: http://www.wallstreetcamera.com/cgi-bin/wsc-search.cgi I assume you want the mechanism to work the Leica film cassette. Early M6, and all M4-P and M4-2 baseplates have this too and would be much cheaper if you need black finish. I assume the wsc one is chrome or it would not be so inexpensive. Leica still sells the earlier style M6/4-P/4-2/4 plate new but I would not want to scare you with the price. They also turn up on eBay and other used places occasionally. Oh and yes it will work just fine. John Collier
