Hi - I have a beautiful Sekonic 80P (standard 8, silent) that I bought not realizing it is missing the film gate. Does anyone have a dead unit that might consider letting me have this rather vital component? Happy to pay, plus postage to Australia.
Cheers, Norm

Gate not needed now - the old Sekonic has gone to the tip.

Norman,
Did you open the back of this machine? if so was the belt,.. rubber or spring...did it look like the drive belt could be changed with relative ease?

Thomas, this is how the belt looks like. If it may help... http://shop.van-eck.net/BT-0458.html
