I recently picked up this Kiev 6C body for $40. It was a gamble because visibly it looks rough. I put it through the motions of testing a camera body without film and it appears to be in decent working order, mostly in need of a cleaning and new leatherette.

However, all but one screw for the top plate is missing and the handle for the door latch is missing as well. I'd like to get replacements. Does anyone know of a good source for these parts (I feel like the screws are easier to mix and match with other bodies), or better yet has some lying around catching dust? I already checked eBay, and there isn't much besides bodies and full kits at this time.

Thanks in advance!

I'll start by say I am aware I could have just bought a darkroom timer, but where is the fun in that?

I saw an old post where someone pointed to this digital timer/relay and I figured I'd try turning it into a timer for my enlarger. It has a range from 0.1 seconds to 999 hours.

Equipment List

• Timer/Relay (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075GSGH85)
• Single pole, dual throw switch (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BVXWF8/)
• Outlet (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UPGKZY/)
• Power input/switch (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082ZFRV1B)
• Case (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZRFMF82)

All in, this cost $30-35 and was super fun to put together.

I am not an electrician, so I won't post wiring diagrams, but in a nutshell:

Power comes in, toggles on/off with main switch. Switch powers relay/timer and goes to SPDT switch. SPDT switch sends signal either to relay or outlet (focus/print). Relay completes circuit to outlet.

I bought some darkroom gear and this negative was in one of the boxes.

I'm printing this and it is going on my wall.
