SL66 film back

Hello,

A few months ago I bought my first MF camera, an used SL66, and since
then it work very well for me. However, at the moment when I decided
to look for a spare film back, I discovered that the slide on the back
attached to the camera is missing and so it cannot be separated from
the camera body.

The question is that would it be possible to find or to order this
part somewhere? Or the solution is only to find another back, use its
slide to detach the one I have and throw it away?

They are seen on ebay from time to time, cost about $20.

I used to have an SL66, and if I remember correctly, there is a slide holder
slot on the underside. Might want to check and make sure it's not in there.

Thanks Martin,

I am in Italy and the preliminary search at eBay.it was't very
successful until figured out the thing's German name and pick it up
new from a reseller in your country!

Yeap, just tryed to look it up right there after some minutes of
meditating over the instruction manual. The only thing I found is a
flat hole in the place where slide supposed to be

Why not make your own?
There should be suitable material to be found somewhere, easily cut to shape.
Don't force it in, but use trial and error and eventually it should work.
Aluminum might do the trick.

Nothing like substituting $50 worth of labor for spending $20 for the
part, eh? ;-)
