Mamiya M645 Repairs/CLA

[wjlapier]

I about have a M645 ready to shoot. I bought the body from Kumar. Lens from Roberts and found a mint waist level finder for a great price. Light seals is all that’s left before I take this out for a shoot. It’s been maybe 15 years since I last shot one of these and still really like the form factor. Not that this needs anything at the moment. Just curious who does repairs/cla’s on these cameras? What needed repairs with your camera and how long since the repair.

Other than light seals, very little needs to be done to these bodies unless they are entirely beat to death (in which case they should just be replaced). The shutters are electronically controlled, and of the several I have owned/used, I never had any problems other than the frame counter not advancing on one of them. That got fixed with a very tiny drop of naptha (lighter fluid) or two applied to that area of the mechanism.
