Recommend a vintage camera repairer in the SF Bay Area, ideally?

I suppose I might just end up mailing the camera back and forth, so perhaps location isn't that important. But it would be nice to see him or her in person. Thanks!

The last camera repair technician I can see in person was Fred from ICT. But he is now retired and his business has been handed over to Jim, who moved to Southern California.

I guess you can still turn in your camera to Seawood Camera, and they send it out to the technician.

Glass Key in SF handles used film cameras and probably knows of people and places. And Seawood, as mentioned. Looking Glass in Berkeley must be familiar with repair people. And up north, Blue Moon Camera.

I took my Olympus Pen FT to Seawood in San Rafael recently. It had totally frozen up. They fixed it in about a minute and didn't charge anything. I browsed the merchandise for sale and petted the store cat, Flash.

Highly recommend.
