Many parts in the CLE are used in the (if I recall correctly) Minolta XG-8 SLR. If the part you need is in the XG-8 then you are in luck since a beat up body should not cost a lot and should not be that difficult to find. I am sure that there are some local repair individuals who have had experience on the Minolta SLR's and they should be able to look after you. Good luck.
