source for SX-64 parts?

[LoTonah]

Hi everyone.

 

I have a working SX-64, but the handle is broken. Specifically, the part that connects the handle to the unit.

 

Any reasonably priced leads?

 

Thanks!

I'm still looking for a suitable keyboard replacement for the two keyboards I have. One is mostly working and the other is kaput.

The handle part can come loose. If there's no crack or anything, just loose you may be able to fix it. In most case it's just carefully removing the blue cap, align the handle in its rightful spot, and tighten the single screw in. If it's stripped or missing, people have drilled through and used a longer machine screw plus bolt and locking washer to put the handle back in its place.

 

If it's actually broken and not loose or stripped screw, not much you can do but to get another SX for spare part. I don't know if 3D printer can make one strong enough to make a carrying handle or if you'd be limited to using it as foot stand.
