I'm looking for a repair center (shop) that has the capability of repairing a copal shutter. After doing a Google search and emailing for the last three days, it has all been a dead end, as in the repairman is close to death or just dead and took his or her skill to the grave. If anyone has a shop they deal with that is known to still do repairs, please comment below. or email me directly at bob.brooks1963@gmail.com Thanks

Have you contacted these folks. I don’t think they are dead yet.

Last I checked she is pretty backed up with work, so there may be a delay, though she does excellent work. Zacks should be able to handle a Copal 3 (he's done an Ilex and a Compound for me.)

I just had a shutter serviced by Flutot’s. I contacted Carol in advance to get in her queue and determine when to send her the lens. I sent it to her about four weeks after first contacting her (this included the recent Christmas and New Year holidays). I sent her the lens at the end of January and received it back approximately 3 weeks later. She was very easy to work with

I had Frank Marshman service a Copal 3 shutter late last year. It took him a couple of weeks to find a required part (main spring was broken, amongst other problems), but everything else went quickly, hassle free and reasonably priced. And of course the shutter works perfectly now.

His email address is camerawiz@msn.com
