Copal #3 Shutter Repair

[Bob_Brooks]

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

I just sent Carol a message about donating some shutters and parts. If I get a reply, I'll let you know.

I just received a shutter back from Carol last week.

I just heard back from her; all's well at Flutot's.

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.
