I will probably do that, though I there is a local guy (well, 45 miles
away) who CLA'd it about 10 years ago and might be able to do an
on-the-spot repair. I had assumed that he was no longer in business but
notice there is a yelp review just posted 5/29/14, so apparently he is
still at it....

Mark,
I'd send Eric a note. I expect old 6x7's are stacking up somewhere,
and he can salvage parts from somewhere.

I got inspired to try some macros on film with the 6x7 yesterday - finally
using a set of extension rings I ought quite a while ago. I was getting
everything set up to get a snap of a zinnia but when I reached for the
camera a felt a slight tug and looked down to see that the cable had caught
on the edge of a yard chair and it and part of the shutter button were
there, while the camera was in my hand... Ack!
I have the part of the button that the cable was attached to and also the
lock/unlock switch. Does anyone know if there is another piece that goes on
the inside to hold it all together? I am thinking of sending it to Eric but
I doubt that there are parts available anymore. I looked, but could not find
anything else - this happened on my back patio, which is landscape brick, so
if there is a part it should be findable. I can't find a schematic on the
internet for this part...
I can fire the shutter still by poking a small screwdriver into the hole
where the button used to be, but I hate to see a thing of beauty hobbled
like this....
