I finally visited that old camera shop in Portland I keep hearing about

Stopped by Pro Photo Supply on NW 23rd last weekend while I was in town. Noticed they had a whole shelf of old Mamiya RB67 parts just sitting there, including a working back for $45. Has anyone else stumbled on a place with hidden repair parts like that? I'm wondering if it's worth the drive back up there or if I should just order online.

Read somewhere that @jason562 was right about Pro Photo holding stuff.

$45 for a working RB67 back is a steal. Ive seen those go for double or triple that online. Grab it while you can, those old Mamiya parts are drying up fast. Pro Photo Supply usually has a decent used section but its hit or miss. If you need anything else specific for the RB, call them first. Theyll hold stuff behind the counter for a day or two if you ask. Otherwise, ordering online for rare parts is a gamble with shipping and condition. Make the drive, it's worth it if you need more than just that one back.
