Nikonos Calypso

[porgyhunter]

I got one in great shape, took it in a lake to take some pics, and it flooded. Dried it out, but I need new gaskets any ideas?

I believe Southern Nikonos (Underwater camera repair by Southern Nikonos) will service your Calypso. I don't think they sell parts per se, but they will replace worn parts, I think. I think a complete rebuild should be considered since evidently there are some non-user serviceable O-rings that can dry out and fail, as well as the user-serviceable O-rings and seals that must be replaced. I've never used SN, but I have friends who have, and I had a lengthy e-mail exchange with the owner a few months ago.

Do you have a Nikonos or a Calypso? They are two different manufacturers.
