Hi danofmk, I am after the plastic removable grip for a program A if that is a relevant part. I assume the program plus is the same.

I think I know which part you mean.
Pm me your address and I'll send it to you.
I'd guess it will fit the same, but I don't have (yet) a super a or program a to be sure.

The hand grip is the same for both cameras.
Had the Super A from new, back in the 80's. Still working fine. The Program A was a later addition to the collection.

Hi Danofmk. I have just acquired my first MX which is off to Robin in the new year for a full service. Cosmetically it's great apart from a dented base plate. what's the condition like on your butchers block MX?

Will check when I'm at home and let you know. From memory the base plate is decent. Fingers crossed!

Would you happen to have the exposure compensation/ film speed selector dial from the ME Super available? That'd be great if so!

Yes I think I do - I will check shortly and come back to you.

I was on ebay over xmas, like you do, and impulse bought a spares or repairs "needs batteries" body. It turned up today and there's much more wrong with it than just needing batteries, but the film speed dial was good so I've transferred that over to the otherwise fine body. So thank you for offering to look for me, but I'm sorted now. And I also now too have a donor body if there's anything on it you or anyone else can use?

Sorry for the delay Peter
It's dent free but with a few minor scratches
Some fool has ruined 2 of the screw heads though. I've snapped one screwdriver trying to get them off and the new one I bought yesterday isn't doing the job either
I'll keep at it though and let you know when I get there!

Some of them seem broken beyond economic repair, so I currently have on my butchers block at home:
1 MX
2 ME super
3 Program Plus
If anybody is after any parts just let me know and I'll see what I can do. I'm always disgusted by how much people want to charge on ebay for these things, so I'm not out to make Money, just to see if I can spread some cheer to any fellow film lovers.
