I have a Pentax ME with the common problem of the wind-on lever not clicking into the closed position. The leaf spring that holds the wind-on lever in the closed position has broken and I’ve failed 2 attempts to repair it. I've removed the broken part so the camera is usable without fear of it jamming, but I'd like to get it back to normal as I've recently replaced all the light seals.

Can anybody here supply a replacement spring, preferably a new one?

AsahiPhoto don't have any and I'm waiting to hear from Harrow Technical. If anybody has contact details for Mike Spencer or any other reliable Pentax spares supplier in UK, I'd be grateful.

I've had a reply from Robin at Harrow Technical, he is sending one to me.
