PM Mr. Penders. He may have one. Not sure if he is using it or not, but it's worth a shot.

Yes they have them If you can afford them.

I'm on Ebay so often they think I work for them! If they don't have an item you are in for a real treasure hunt

I think I have mine fixed. Pending in water testing of course.

I am on my third WP-DC28. I go through about one a year because the buttons get to sticking so badly. Unfortunately, I think I just threw away my last one about 2 weeks ago or you could have used it for parts. I can look in the basement for the other older one if you'd be interested in parts. I haven't seen it lately, but it could still be around. Let me know if you'd like me to dig -- for parts.

Jen if you are going through housings like that I would wonder if you are rinsing well enough? I have had the same one for about 3 years now and have had no problems I soak mine over night in hot/ warm water and then push every buttons a bunch after each dive. This keeps the salt out and everything moving
I bet you can rehab your old ones with the same procedure as above.

Jen, If you have one I'd love to have it. Never hurts to have a backup.

What herb said is right though. I keep a cooler full of fresh water in my truck and the camera travels to and from the dive site in the cooler and I excercize the buttons regularly without the camera in the case so they maintain full stroke length. You can also use a hypodermic needle with a little liquid silicone to put a little on the shafts so the it lubes the O-rings

Herb -- Hm. I certainly do rinse, but not to that extent.

Thanks to you both for the tips. After diving, I do use a towel while pushing the buttons to get all the water out.

Dusty -- I'll take a look and see if I still have one of my old ones...
