antique camera self timer

[nreed_94]

HELP!!!! I am the proud owner of a Praktica LTL3 SLR. It has served me well over the past year, but there is just one thing missing. The knob that is used to set the self time is completely missing. There doesn't appear to be any damage to the area that it screws into. The knob just simply is gone. I have searched all over the place to find a replacement, and haven't come up with anything. I really want to replace it. It doesn't necessarily have to work, but just cover up the awkward hole that is on the front of my camera. Is there a place to find a replacement knob? I have had no luck on ebay, and Google has turned up nothing. Maybe somebody knows of a place that I don't. Any help would be great!!!

You could always fill the hole with superglue and paint it black

If you do not mind it being a knob that kits and not the knob that belongs there I would try flea markets they seem to always have camera bit and bobs about them

Right now the only option I can find it buying a broken Praktica and taking the timer off that one, but if there is a cheaper alternative I would really like that
