I have a Rolleiflex that I really want to get working. I posted about it a while back, asking if I would be able to do my own repairs on it and I got a strong response back that I should definitely not try to save money and do it myself. At the time I did not have a job and therefore had no money to send it out to someone to get it repaired. I have a job now but I'm still a little cost conscious. I think the shutter just needs an overhaul and maybe a couple other repairs. The one time I tried shooting a roll with it, I shot the first frame and then it would not advance. I let it sit for a while after that and that's when the shutter stopped firing. The blades are closed and when I try to take a photo, it makes a hissing sound and the blades move a tiny bit but don't open up.
Anyway, to get to my question. I'm looking for a quality repair person in southern California that could fix this for me with a short turn around time and at a decent price. I know that Harry Fleenor does great work but I've heard he's quite expensive and has a long turn around time. I live in the Long Beach area. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
