I guess I've learned the hard way that used camera descriptions on auction sites are not always, well, shall we say, 'accurate'. I have three rangefinders: a Beauty Lite III, Konica Auto S2 and Taron Auto-EE. The Konica has an inoperable shutter, and the Beauty and Taron sluggish shutters and frozen focusing rings. All are in otherwise pristine condition. I know the Konica is fairly mainstream, but the other two are a bit obscure. The good news? Luckily, the sellers refunded the money and told me to keep the cameras (I guess returns just wasn't worth their while) and I like obscure cameras, and find them interesting. The bad news? I've developed some nerve damage in my hands, so it's gotten difficult to work on them. Can anyone suggest a good repair shop that handles obscure cameras? I live in the Boston area, but can ship them anywhere in the country. I know it would likely cost much more the the cameras themselves are worth, but it's a hobby of mine. Thanks!

My go to guy for camera repair is Mike Zacks at Zacks Camera Repair, 791 Hope Street, Providence, RI. His phone number is 401-273-7247. Email at: info@zackscamerarepair.com. He might want to look at your cameras before he agrees to repair, but he's not that far from Boston. ronwhit

Greg Weber is an expert with Konica cameras: Dead Link Removed. I recommend him highly.
