Fixing broken SB-24 plastic foot

The plastic foot of my SB-24 flash broke when a sudden wind blew over a light stand. Luckily fixing the foot was a breeze, too.

Warning: I take no responsibility if anything goes wrong. There is potentially a lethal high voltage inside a flash, so don’t open one unless you know what you are doing.

I got the replacement foot from the official Nikon service in Finland (JAS tekniikka). The price for the part and shipping was a whopping 7,87 EUR (about $12.50 in USD).

The required part is FSA02101-110. There is also an older identical part with part number FSA02401-119 that can be used.

The steps for fixing the foot are really simple:

1) Remove the four screws at the bottom of the flash
2) Open the bottom, and you see a small circuit board with three screws that hold the foot in place
3) Remove the three screws from the circuit board
4) Pull the broken foot off of the bottom plate. The spring loaded center pins and the metal plates at the sides should stay put.
5) Unscrew the plastic locking ring from the broken part and screw it on the replacement part.
6) Place the new foot where the old one was. The contact pins should go through the holes in the foot.
7) Secure the foot by screwing back the three screws on the circuit board. Make sure you tighten them well, or the foot will wiggle.
8) Put the bottom cover back to its place and screw back the four screws in the bottom.

Done!

"21st Century Fushion" fused plastic bags coat ~ step 1

Sorting and selection:

Fused Plastic Bag Collage in the making…this is the very beginning of process:

Selecting the bags – colors & logos – to be used meant taking out hundreds of collected bags, food wrappers, & bubble wraps — they wound up all over Kitchen, Dining room, and Living Room floors, counters, & furniture. I had 5 13 gallon trash bags of plastic bags to sort through in addition to a few tote bags full.

Found in a recycling bin…one plastic cheer leader pom pom from Chicago park district.

Wading through them was interesting…
