Title: Wee rubber plugs/covers on Phase One 645DF - replacements?
Post by: Brent McCombs on February 24, 2010, 11:13:26 pm
The little rubber plugs on the side of the Phase 645DF seem to want to pop off every time I put the camera in the provided case, and within a month of receiving the camera and P40+ kit, I've now lost/misplaced the round one where the remote shutter cable attaches. I suspect the rubber one on the side of the digital back will go at some point too, as it curls up and bends every single time i put the camera back in the case.  Are these available as replacements (and can you get a small packet of a few of each)? I don't really have to have it in studio, but if I have the camera out-doors, it's probably going to be more of a critical issue to keep dust and such out of it.

Here's where my Electric Motorcycle experience may come in handy!    

Almost every rubber pluggy thing is a standard item, it's just a matter of finding a supplier for it...  locally, here in Boston, we have You-Do-It Electronics- an almost legendary supplier of electronics parts and "stuff".  Their site isn't no good tho.  

All Electronics has a ton of stuff- buyouts, too- http://www.allelectronics.com/ (http://www.allelectronics.com/)

McMaster Carr is the standard for any industrial fabrication- they have tons of stuff- http://www.mcmaster.com (http://www.mcmaster.com)

...and I'd not forget about Radio Shack and your local home supply place- they stock all sorts of stock stuff like that...  

Good luck!

also...  when I was a dealer, it was pretty typical to have a lot of extras of plugs and caps and such lying around...  you might just ask the dealer you got it from.

We do keep a small number of such items around as one of the many services we offer to our digital back customers. They are not really kept on hand as for-sale inventory intended to make a profit.
