Putting this here as it might be useful advice for someone else.
Bought a cheap (£16) Minolta 600Si Classic.
It was cheap as it had no grip at all. There were one or two bits clinging on for dear life, but they were all really brittle.
At first, I looked online for a ‘parts’ camera but they were all more expensive than this one - which appears to work properly.
Plus, there is a huge chance that any other camera I bought would suffer from the same problem in the very near future.
So I had never heard of Sugru, but it seemed to be the answer in this case.
Bought a pack of three - it was nowhere near enough.
In the end I think I used 6 1/2 pieces.
So the Sugru easily cost more than the camera. But I could have got away with an eight pack if I’d bought that first.
Was originally going to try and make it smooth, but got the idea from a guy on Reddit to maybe include a texture.
In the end I used a piece of 60 grit sandpaper.
Not by any means perfect. But certainly better than it was.
