Anyone know where I can get a replacement cable release socket for a Copal Shutter? Mine's stripped so it barely works.

You used to be able to buy from Schneider. Also, check B&H.

Are you positive that it is really stripped? Our experience with Linhof, Schneider and Rodenstock is that many stripped sockets actually have the broken tip of a cable release broken off and inside the socket. You can easily see if that is the case with a 4x loupe. If it is you just use a small jewelr's flat head screw driver to unscrew the broken tip. Otherwise Bob Watkins, Nippon and Grimes will all have replacement ones.

Will check, thanks! Forgot about Nippon, have heard good things about them.
