Linhof parts UK - technika IV international back plastic

[David Higgs]

not sure if I can gets parts in the uk or will have to contact Linhof direct, my technika IV has a crack in the plastic locator that is used to hold the metal bar in place that comes down when using roll film holders etc.

I bodged in the field with some epoxy but its panoramic season for me with an exhibition needing to be up and running in 2 months.

Any uk LF'ers got experience in getting parts for this old camera?

Not in the UK, but I would start scanning eBay and the like for beater or parts cameras.
Perhaps what you need can be taken from a Tech III.
You'll also have parts on hand should something go wrong in the future.

I think I have got a very similar problem. See attached photo.
Did you ever get a spare or able to have it fixed ?
