Nikon Film repair shops

[kivis]

Sooner or later, it finally happened. Need some repair, probably a CLA will do it. I have been avoiding this day since my good friend, Pete Smith, the Nikonsmith, passed away.
So....I need a recommendation for a seasoned repair shop for my trusty Nikon FM. What say you?

Authorized Photo Service 8125 River Drive #100 Morton Grove IL 60053 847-966-4091. They have taken care of my Nikon film cameras for many years, FM2, F5 etc. absolutely first rate.I am very hard on my equipment. I have no personal interest in the company, just a very satisfied customer. I noticed you are in South Florida, so am I. There is a repair shop in South Florida that is an authorized Nikon repair center. I will not mention their name, but the work has only just been OK at best.

+1.

I have also gotten first rate service from Authorized. They did a complete overhaul on an F3HP I owned, and my current FM2's will go there when needed as well.

There's also a woman on ebay. Judy is her first name. Username is marmot5767. She's very popular with the people over at Nikonians. Suspect she would have your FM working like new again. She bought a lot of Pete Smith's parts and tools when his kids got rid of his estate on eBay in 2013.
