Clive, I called this morning and I now have two (2) LX Winder Battery Trays on the way to Texas (should arrive by next Thursday). I am keeping one just in case....
I really do not know what happened yesterday? Maybe they were delirious because of the new *st-D! The Parts Department Representative indicated they did have a limited amount of LX Winder Battery Trays remaining and was not sure if they would receive any additional from Japan. Unfortunately, they no longer carry the Replacement Tray for your ME Super Winder. Anyway, the LX Winder Tray is $9.42 + 7.5% tax + $5.00 standard shipping. I will inquire about the cost to ship to Antibes France via Airmail Letter Post (4 - 7 days delivery time) and provide you a total via a private e-mail. Regards, Jose R.
