Rolleiflex Automat RF111a (1937) light leak - repair person needed

[weldong]

Hello,

I have a 1937 Rollei with a light leak issue around the taking lens. You can see it with the focus away from infinity and while you shine a light into the viewfinder or viewing lens. I took off the fresnel toi the view finder and verified it is coming from the viewing chamber and down into the shutter assembly to leak at a penhole near the tube that surrounds the taking lens.

I asked Krimar Photo in NJ and he says he can't repair it, he can't get the part.

Is there anyone else I can call that is known to service old Rollei's well.

Thanks in advance!

Weldon

If Krimar can't do it, I think you should talk to Harry Fleenor at http://www.rolleirepairs.com

Yeah, I may call him for a recommendation. I remember asking him to do the CLR on it right after I 1st got it a couple years ago and he said he wouldn't work on them that old. Unless he changed that policy...
