Toyo 45D revolving back release lever

[seigezapf]

Hello,

The revolving back plastic release lever on my Toyo 45D is broken. It fits over a short knurled shaft. It looks very fragile so I think maybe this isn't an unusual problem. I am new to this and don't know of the resources that might be available for a replacement part. Or maybe someone has a solution involving another method. I can always use needle nose pliers, but would prefer something more permanent and aesthetic. Thanks for any suggestions.

I've probably sold over a couple of hundred Toyo cameras, and have not not heard of this problem. I should be able to get you the part, if you know how to install it. Please show a photo and send me a private message.

Thank you. That would be great. I'll take a photo tomorrow and send you a message. It's just a small press on lever over a knurled shaft. I believe the shaft is 6mm.

Message sent. Thanks. Here are photos of knurled knob for allowing rotation of the back and the broken small plastic lever.
