Further info: I found the info from google searches. I also found this thread including info from one of our members, on mi-fo.de. Use Google translate and read the whole thread, it is quite informative.

The A900 service manual is available for free here:
https://elektrotanya.com/sony_dslr-a900_level2_ver1.2_sm.pdf/download.html See page 89-90 (5-13 and 5-14). The A900 seems to have separate motors for charging the mirror and the shutter. A new mirror box sells as a assembly not including the charger A-1556-572-B (and also as a complete sub unit including the mount A-1565-977-A). Used A900 seems to go for about USD 5000 (or less if there are some minor problems). |

I may have missed it, but it doesn't help not knowing your location. A quick search on fleabay found 4 for sale here in the US. https://www.ebay.com/b/Sony-A900-Digital-Cameras/31388/bn_105867011

thank you for the list, yes I’ve looked around on ebay and mostly used A900 came from Japan, and while I was there some years ago, I was tempted to buy it but the honest seller from camerashop in kyoto told me that all camera sold in Japan is japanese version with japanese language (of course it does 😊), well i guess it’s cool to have but i better not to trouble myself with it anyway, the one from UK looks really good, maybe i can replace the ding on the prism with mine |
