No Charge Repair

Repairs Fully Guaranteed For 6 Months
Most
quality cameras of a certain age need to be serviced, either to adjust
the shutter speeds, or meter, or just general service, relube,
clean and adjust.
Camera repairs can
be turned around within a week or less in most cases. I can sometimes do
a rush service if my schedule allows.
If
you are going
to send me a camera, please make sure you put something inside to tell
me who its from, and what is the problem. Write
down your serial #. Take off all unnecessary accessories, like
straps caps, and eyecups. I do not need your battery, but if you
do send it, write
it down. You can leave a filter on the lens.
Clean and
Check=$30.00
A "Clean and Check", is a
checking of shutter speeds, meter, flash sync and all operations of
the camera. An external cleaning, including mirror and focusing screen
"if user serviceable" and replacement of mirror and back door hinge
foam. Keep in mind that a "Clean and Check" will not fix any problems.
What it will do is tell what problems it has if any. If at that time
you decide to get an overhaul you will not be charged for the clean
and check.

Rather than
listing all my equipment on this page and maintaining it, I have most
of it in
my eBay store. Check it out.
Equipment that is in my
eBay store.
Putting up more all the
time.
Here is a link for the
store.

I am putting up
more equipment all the time so check back often. If you are looking
for anything in particular, let me know because I have a lot of things
that are not on the store yet.
Just email me.
I am always looking for broken or
non working cameras. If you have any cameras you would like to sell,
email me with what you have. I buy manufacturer's cameras, lenses and
accessories. They must have all parts and no major impact or water
damage.
I do not buy off brand lenses and accessories.
Please don't ask for help to repair your own camera: I will not help.
I do not sell
camera parts.
