But let's say you needed a new pressure plate, a sync connector, meter parts, or whatever re-riveted. Yes, even rivets are scarce. Apparently Marflex won't have those parts on hand. I tried getting a new back for a 3.5F, as a crack has appeared by the hinge on mine. It's no longer available, with the only back in stock is one for the Tele-Rollei. I suspect if more than 3-5 people ordered that, it would be gone from inventory forever. One certainly can't foresee a good samaritan jumping in and retooling just for our benefit.
