Paul Glendell Posted May 10, 2011 Share #1  Posted May 10, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I know it's a strange question but does anyone have any idea where I might get a dummy M9 or M8 or even a broken and useless M9 or M8 body. I am not a collector but I just need a 'dummy' for something I am working on.  Can anyone help Many thanks  Paul  www.glendell.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marknorton Posted May 10, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted May 10, 2011 The M8 I dismantled in my "Anatomy of the Leica M8" thread sadly no longer works, something happened on the last rebuild and in spite of my best efforts, it continues to sulk. There's some sort of power supply problem which, without access to spare parts and a circuit diagram, is difficult to fix. Â http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m8-forum/21331-anatomy-leica-m8.html#post224625 Â Still, things like the shutter, sensor, light meter, LCD display and viewfinder are fine; the DSP board is not good nor is the shutter controller after I soldered lots of wires to it to implement a hardware discreet shutter mode when Leica refused to put it in the M8c firmware. My two M8u's are fine and, who knows, might receive some donor parts in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
