Thanks Hakko, u did more than is required of you. I actually did start scouring ebay after I posted. The prices aren't to bad.....

the lens bayonet was bent a little but I am gonna have a camera shop look at it and see if it's fixable and make sure nothing else is wrong with it.

I gotta say. I am glad this forum is here. There was a time when I was heavily into photography. I have tons of slides that I took both land and underwater. I also have a Nikonos V that I used when I did alot of diving. I started scanning in my slides a few years back and kind of stopped. I think this forum will revive some of that.
