Re: Where to get K-3 ii parts (battery door)?

2021-10-22 Thread Darren Addy
Thanks to all for the suggestions.
I was able to find the part (I believe) from UScamera.com for $14 shipped.
Note that the same part fits: Genuine Pentax battery cover shell for the
K-3, K-3II, K5, K-5 II, K-5 IIS, K-7, and the 645D digital camera.

So I *hope* this is the part I need. They told me that the latch sometimes
fails and that THAT part is no longer available.

Doesn't cost anything (... or hardly anything) to call and ask if he can 
just buy the part from them.

KEH would also be worth checking. They do repairs, they may well have a UGL 
K-3ii they could sell you for parts or that they could deconstruct themselves 
to do your repair…

My experience with Precision is that they do do good work, anything unusual 
involves shipping the unit to Japan or Philippines or Vietnam, and back, so 
there is a noticeable time lag… And oh by the way they are expensive. Almost 
cheaper to buy a used body in good condition, put your old one in a drawer to 
use for parts.

Or, you could post a query on FB or Pentax Forums asking if anyone has a ruined 
(e.g. drowned) K-3 for sale, from which you could remove the battery door.
