When I lost a screw in the bottom of my Super Program, I took it to a local
camera show. The camera repair guy ("Free Shutter Check at Show") took out a
salt shaker sized container of screws, pulled one out, and installed it. No
charge.
Can't you call Pentax Canada for a replacement screw for you 135? Pentax USA
has been helpful to me with parts before. Most recently, I sent in a LX with
sticky mirror and asked for parts for a AF28-70/2.8 lens. The blasted
zoom/clip button had come off the lens body. Pentax USA asked me to send them the
lens, which they repaired and returned - no charge!
Now if somebody could just find the parts I need for an Auto Bellows A.
Pentax USA couldn't supply them. I have a bellows A that is missing the camera
mounting ring. It's a simple thing with a bayonet mount and a wider black bit
that fits into the bellows. A set screw on the bellows stage lets you take the
camera mount out, put it onto the camera, remount the whole thing, and turn
it for horizontal or vertical shots. If anybody has a line on this item...
