In Reply to: Missing Yashica Mat 124G Spool Holder Knob posted by Gary Simmons on August 02, 1999 at 14:13:23:

: Need lower Spool Holder Knob. May be the same as upper knob. Need a souce or suggestions. Camera appears to be in good shape otherwise. SN6094692 Thanks!

The only parts source for a 20-year-old camera (your Yashica Mat is at least that old) would be cannibalizing another Yashica Mat which is not in working order. The only way to find such a part is by contacting camera repair facilities and inquiring whether they have a Yashica Mat they are parting out. There's only one other possibility - finding a camera repair technician capable of machining a new part for you. This is an expensive proposition and it helps to have an idea of what the original part looks like.
