Richard According to Sandi at www.sbearstradingpost.com<http://www.sbearstradingpost.com/> Tandy stopped making the strap and rivets kit 8 years ago and it is not available at any of their sources. Sandi said that it you are located in the LA area come to their store when it reopens Tuesday and get a suitable strip and rivets. That may help you but I am in Virginia and still looking.

I have just finished needed restitching of my Tessar 3.5 Rollei case. The camera was purchased in the early 1950s. The strap has long since gone and I would appreciate suggestions on a replacement of the strap. Fred Someone in the list may have a strap or perhaps an old one where the buckles can be salvaged. I have a case where the strap links on the case have disintegrated. Tandy Leather used to have the right sort of leather and rivets but they closed all their stores and now sell on the Internet. Maybe a cheaper way to do business but I still like to see and feel the goods I am buying. --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org<//www.freelists.org/> - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org<//www.freelists.org/> - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list<//www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list>
