Chris,
Try contacting the Rollei distributors for the country in which you live.
You could also contact the authorized repair and service agency for
Rollei. Or even UNauthorized repair shops.
I have never had any problems buying needed Rollei parts that way.
BTW, the screws to which you refer are of two different head
sizes; the larger one for the front.

Hi all.
This question specifically relates to a 3.5E, but I suspect it's exactly
the
same part for most/all Rolleis. On the camera, there are two metal
strips,
just below the viewfinder hood, which hold the hinge for the back, and
also
have the lugs where the neckstrap or ever-ready case attaches.
Each of these strips is held in place by two small screws - one at the
front
of the camera, and one at the rear.
I find myself needing to replace one of these screws, but I have been
unable
to source a replacement - most generic parts retailers don't stock screws
that small, and the shops I found the do (model shops, etc.) don't have
the
right size.
It occurs to me that there are people familliar with repairing cameras on
the list, and someone may know where I can source these screws, or at
least
what sort of screw it is, so that I can have a better chance of sourcing
one.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm running out of options.
