Same story. Sent my Fuji Folder back for service, as it stopped working shortly after first repair. It has been over 8 months and no response to phone messages or emails, nothing.
I found this thread about a year ago and sent two Fujis to Frank. I got one back and he said he had to wait for parts on the other. That he's had it for 8 months and I've been emailing him since the beginning of November and he hasn't responded. I just tried to call and the phone was busy. Does anybody have any newer information on any of this?

Might as well keep this thread going...
is Frank still in business presently? Best way to contact him? Any changes for the phone # or email?
Responses are greatly appreciated!!
Frank is a nice man, but honestly I cannot recommend him. I sent him a Maniya C220 that had film advance issues. He kept it a long time, was incomunicado, and at the end of the day the camera worked no better than when I sent it to him, so I wasted my money.
Has anybody had this guy work on a really unusual rare camaras like a Bell and Howell Foton? I have one, but I'm scared to have anybody work on it, it's so rare and special.
I recently bought a GSW690II cheap which Frank later said was the deal of the day. I had called and left a message after about a week of no response I found this thread and decided to just send it out to him. He received it on the 24th of Feb and last night I got a text saying my camera was ready, can't wait to get it back.
Will do. Thanks for the heads up, Steve.You might also give him a phone call before sending your Auto S3. Frank closed the shop and works out of his home now, as a result of which there are some things we can/will no longer work on.
With large format shutters I have nothing but praise for Frank. For me he has done top-quality work at reasonable prices and good turn-around times.

So did you send your camera to Frank Marshman? If so, did you get it back? Was it properly fixed?I'm about to attempt to send him my Konica Auto S3 to see if he can give it a clean bill of health and I can shoot knowing its ready for the next few years. Hopefully he's still around, I just sent him an e-mail.
So did you send Frank Marshman your camera? How did the repair go?Frank just answered my e-mail, After only 2 hours. Still in business.
That sounds great. May I please have the link to Frank Marshman through eBay?I just received a Plaubel Makina back from service/CLA from Frank. I haven't tested it yet but will report if anything is amiss. My initial contact with him was through email, which went unanswered for a day or two so I tried the link to him through eBay and he answered right away. Turn around time for my camera was a week.
Sure, it's "wizcam"That sounds great. May I please have the link to Frank Marshman through eBay?
I am nee here but have read these comments looking for info on getting my Fujica GS645S repaired and reached out to Frank Marshman and he is still accepting cameras for repairs. Just though I would let you all know as he is kind of a hard guy to contact.
Thanks for the update and Welcome!
