LeZot's no longer in business?

[Duceman]

Anyone know if LeZot's Complete Camera Center out of Williston VT has gone (or is going) out of business?

I've sent Hasselblad parts to them in the past for CLA, but now it appears that they are no longer accepting orders?

I was planning on sending a Kodak Carousel for overhaul, but it's increasingly getting to be 'carpe diem' with experienced repair people. The website notice says he'll be back in May. Let's hope that it's not a health issue, as Vincent Lizotte is now in his late 60's.

The similarly-named camera store in downtown Burlington is separately owned.

The link takes me to their homepage, which says they'll be re-opening in May. Could be they're just moving to new premises (I recall they used to be in downtown Burlington...)

Edit: Aha! So they're not the same.

That's too bad. I sent a camera there for repair last June and was very happy with the service.

Strange. When I go to that website on my desktop browser, it doesn't fully show the message that they'll be back in May. But on my mobile phone, it does show.

Well, I do hope that they're back in business by then. I've sent three Hassy lenses and a body to them for CLA, and I liked what they did. Have a few more items to send.

Fingers crossed that it's temporary!

On another note, I googled the other LeZot's (the one in Burlington) and was pleased to see that they've moved into a nice new (large) store and appear to be doing well. Last time I was in Burlington, about a decade ago, they were on the second floor of an old building with piles of gear on every available surface. Glad to see a traditional camera shop thriving. (I bought my stainless steel tank and several reels there.)

Link I posted shows a sign in front of his house "25% off Retirement Sale" maybe clearing out stuff.
