Hi - one of my Synchro - Compur shutters has started to 'Play Up' - the 1 and 1/2 second speeds are very slow and the shutter will occasionally not lock when cocked.

Can anyone reccomend a somewhere to take it for service - adjustment - repair somewhere In the UK, preferably in London, so I can deliver it personally rather than having to use the post?

Thanks in advance

My favorite repairpeople are Newton Ellis & Co of Liverpool, I deal with them by post all the time with never a problem, but these people in Central London come to mind:

I used them a lot when I was in London 30 years ago, haven't used them since, but I believe their reputation is good.

Regards,

David

PS: Another guy in the London area, haven't used him for 5 years or so but he was good:

I can highly recommend Black on White Camera Repairs

They serviced my 165mm Super Angulon a few weeks ago, the slow speeds were sluggish and sticking. Posted on a Monday, received Tuesday, stripped, cleaned & rebuilt and tested on the Wednesday and I had it back in Thursdays post. That's excellent service.
