This is very good information for Pentax owners and as a Pentax 67 owner it is now filed away for future use if needed. Hopefully it won't be needed, but you never know.

Definitely a good thing for people with a P67II. In the US, I believe Eric Henderson (pentaxs.com) still works on the earlier model, but not the II. He was Pentax trained as well, I believe.

I haven't used my 67II kit with 11 lenses recently and have been debating whether or not to send the body in for a CLA which I am sure that t needs. After Pentax rebuilt the winder ~2005 it has been working flawlessly requiring only cleaning the AE Prism finders contacts more often than when it was new.

i had my 67ii repaired by advanced camera repair this year in beaverton/portland OR. After thinking that nobody would or could fix/repair it, they did! so happy people out there can fix em

Just after I sold my whole Pentax 67 II due to lack of repair (at least in Europe)... Nevertheless, this is good news for the next 67II generation of photographers.

Eric Hendrickson rebuilt my early 6x7. A second body was beyond repair so I gave it to him for parts. That was 6 or 7 years ago. It's still going strong and my brother now has the 6x7 kit. My 6x7 negatives now come from my Cambo 23SF.

Eric just rebuilt a battered black Pentax MX for me so he is still fixing cameras.

Eric Hendrickson serviced my Pentax 6x7 a couple of years ago: replaced the main electronic board, and fixed the battery drain problem. It works as new now. And his price and turnaround time are both very good.

I have also used Advance Camera on a few occasions to fix my Pentax 67II. They are the only ones in all of North America that still fix the 67II camera. No one else will touch it today.
