I have an older KR-5

Unfortunately, you won't find new spare parts as the model is so long out of production and the manufacturer ceased to exist many years ago. The difficulty is compounded by the fact that there is so little money in servicing and repairing 35mm SLR cameras that most repairers have ceased trading. If you do strike lucky, then unless the part is very cheap and you have the skills to fit it yourself it makes no economic sense at all as the body in excellent cosmetic and functional condition is only worth £5-£10 in the UK (where I am) and probably less in the USA.

The only source will be from a used donor model, but as there are plenty of KR-5's, KR-10's and similar Pentax K-mount bodies lying unused these days why bother paying for one? Almost every 35mm SLR and lens I've acquired in the last six years has been totally free via my local FreeCycle and Freegle groups, and most have been fully functional or just needing new batteries and light seals.

If you're really determined to save your camera then you maybe able to fabricate the spring yourself, but it's been so long since I took a KR series model apart that I don't recall the design so it may be an impractical suggestion.

Good luck, and sorry that this is not the answer you were hoping for.

What is the lens fitting

Very similar to Pentax k mount. Can use k-mount lenses on Ricoh, but have to remove a pin on Ricoh lenses to use on Pentax

Film won't load on Vectis 300 MinoIta

The clue is in your descrition; Old. If the mechanism has jammed, due to age or lack of use that causes tarnisg=hing on the contacts, the motor/mechanism will not load. I would get it serviced at an aurgorised Minolta repair shop. Contact Minolta for a list of authorised repairers.

I tried to use a 16GB PNYcard in my picture fram and it would not work. It said "No Card" on the screen. What's the answer?

If your picture frame is not recognizing the 16GB PNY card and displaying a "No Card" message, there could be several reasons for this issue:
  1. Compatibility: Some picture frames may have limitations on the size or type of memory card they can accept. Ensure that the picture frame is compatible with SDHC or SDXC cards, as these are the types commonly used for higher-capacity cards like 16GB.
  2. File System: Check if the memory card is formatted in a compatible file system such as FAT32 or exFAT. Some picture frames may not recognize cards formatted in other file systems. You may need to format the card using a compatible file system on your computer before using it in the picture frame.
  3. Card Reader Slot: Ensure that the memory card is inserted correctly into the card reader slot of the picture frame. Sometimes, improper insertion can prevent the device from detecting the card.
  4. Card Compatibility: While SDHC and SDXC cards are generally backward-compatible with devices that support SD cards, some older picture frames may have limited compatibility with higher-capacity SD cards. Try using a lower-capacity SD card (e.g., 2GB or 4GB) to see if the picture frame recognizes it.
  5. Faulty Card or Picture Frame: If none of the above solutions work, there may be an issue with either the memory card or the picture frame itself. Try using the memory card in a different device to check if it's functioning correctly. Similarly, try using a different memory card in the picture frame to see if it's able to recognize it. If the problem persists, there may be a hardware issue with either the card or the picture frame, and you may need to contact the manufacturer for assistance or consider replacing the faulty component.
By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to determine the cause of the issue and resolve it accordingly.

I lost one of the little rubber ball-like feet off my tripod 1612201. Do you have them available?

We don't have anything available Elizabeth. We are Fixya, and we only supply free information. It would be useful to know the maker as the '1612201' doesn't bring much up and looks like a serial number. Your local camera shop can get them, or you can get online. https://www.google.com/search?q=tripod+feet+replacement //
