Alex_Mustard 0 Posted March 23, 2011 Hello, I am trying to breathe some life into some old strobes. However, I am missing an o-ring for the Nikonos SB-104. This is the main body o-ring for the battery compartment (on the strobe, not the one on the battery compartment cap). Does anyone have one they do not need. Or know where I can buy one?

jander4454 15 Posted March 23, 2011 Do you know the size? - I have a bag of spare Nikonos o-rings so might be able to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_Mustard 0 Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks Jim, It is one of the orange ones - so quite thick. Without the o-ring I cannot give an accurate measurement. Maybe someone with this o-ring can measure theirs! It is about 15cm in diameter? Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jander4454 15 Posted March 23, 2011 Sorry - no orange ones in my collection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex_Mustard 0 Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks Bill, I will have a look and see how the shipping works out to the UK. Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_Mustard 0 Posted March 23, 2011 Helix don't seem to have an overseas shipping option. From their list of 10+ shipping options, only two are not (US only) and neither of these would work with my order. So back to square one. Any other suggestions?

Alex_Mustard 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Hi Bill, Thank you for the offer of help. I think that is the best solution. If you can calculate the cost of the shipping from you to Europe (they should fit in a normal envelope) - I can send you the amount for the o-ring from Helix, their shipping and then the postage to me - with Paypal. Probably best to continue this discussion on email - mine is alex(at)amustard.com Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
