New Contax III user

Hi, I'm living in Holland and I bought a Contax III yesterday from a guy who'se mother bought it in 1938 in a still existing dutch photo store.
It is in what seems to be good working condition, everything including the curtain shutter works and the only thing that doesn't work is the
delay release shutter thingy, but that is no problem for me.
So, I put in a film now and see what comes out of this granny.
I'm very impressed with the good technical state of this 72 years old camera.
I have one question: can anyone tell me where I can get a take up spool for
the camera, I made a cut in a empty Kodak spool and it seems to work for now, but I would like to buy an official spool.
Are there any other Contaxers in Holland ?.
 
Hi to myself

Is this forum still alive or did they finally drop the bomb.
So, am I the only one with a Contax III on this planet or
was my first message so boring that no one want's to reply.
I'll try a message on one off the other forums and if that
doesn't help I'll google for another "club"
