Where Can I Send Graphic Lens n US For Overhaul?

[F4U]

This is my lens from my Super Graphic. Both the lens and the camera are in absolute mint condition. The lens has obviously never been serviced, and it is completely unusable. Terribly slugglsh. I am located i nthe southeastern US. I've watched Chris Sherlock's videos and his work is impeccable. But he's in Australia, and I'm not even sure he would want or need the job anyway. Is there anybody in the US who can do work like that, and won't take forever to get it done and back to me? Like I say, the lens is virgin new condition. I don't want chewed up screws and scratches. Edit: I wonder how much it costs these days for good repair work like that? Thank you.

Maybe Carl Flutot; from here: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/repair-shops-in-and-out-of-business.210509/post-2875874

Chris Sherlock has retired, @retina_restoration Paul Barden is doing the Kodak Retina repairs now, I'm not sure if he would also work on your lens, you can ask. He is in the USA. Can vouch for a good service.

F4, give Precision Camera in Austin a call. I'm sure there are many companies that would work on a leaf shutter.
Here in western Canada Gary at Lensmedic YYC works on every thing from Rolleis to Leicas to old folders with leaf shutters.
I know in the US Carol Flutot gets mentioned often but I'm sure there are others. Compared to lots of cameras, LF shutters aren't that complicated.

I stand corrected; apologies!

Zack's camera is a sponsor of this site- try them. Synchro-Compur shutters are very common, and well-known; it doesn't seem like yours is worn out and needing parts. Any camera repair shop should be able to service it, they will have seen and repaired many of them.
