A collection of useful lenses and camera repair YouTube Channels and websites

Good one: He advocates reducing friction, even lowering spring tensions where practical, and AFAIK, no one has ever screwed up a camera by doing this.

I'll also mention ICTcamera for Hasselblad 500-series repairs. I found this series especially helpful, but there are some omissions: For example, he does not cover replacement of the foam pads behind the mirror.

Moderator hat on:
Your positions are clear on the topic of the reliability of a particular site. It is unnecessary to continue the discussion here.
People can use the warning contained in this thread in whatever way they deem appropriate.
But from a moderator's point of view, a warning that indicates that the poster is of the opinion that the quality of a site is inconsistent and therefore people who view it should "approach (it) with caution", has a tone and approach that we support.
Any further discussion on the topic of the reliability of that particular referenced site in this thread will be deleted.
Moderator hat off.

With all (earned) respect to your hat, the problem I have is that a single person (who happens to be a competitor) is able to defame a gentleman who has done some very good repair work for me in the past-- Mike Trost, of the Fix Old Cameras youtube site is also the man who runs Phototronic in Topeka, KS-- and no one's allowed to defend him.

If the claim of shoddy workmanship could be substantiated, it would be one thing, but at the moment, we've got a vague statement about a video (or videos) that not only seems wildly out of character, but cannot be found.

That seems genuinely unfair.

A separate thread including a civil discussion about the repair work of a particular repairer would be fine. This thread is about internet resources.
