where to buy a CLAed Rolleiflex?

[icono]

does anyone know any other shop except Keh and ebay where i could buy a rolleiflex? i need a CLAed one. I know there are masters in the US who do CLA, may be they also sell some cameras?
Ebay isn't really suitable for me and Keh doesn't have any good offer (right now at least). I'm outside the US and there arent' any good masters who could do good CLA to rolleiflex here, so i don't want any fuss sending it here and there, you know, that's why i want a camera in a good working condition, not to bother for at least a couple of years.
Any answer appreciated, thank you.

A friend had very good things to say about Harry Fleenor, having owned a couple of very nice Rollei's from him.

Try sending this guy- Jurgen Kuschnik- an email as-well. He's another factory trained Rollei expert that now lives in Germany. He did great work on a very old Rollei. He may have, or know of one.

In the UK, there's Brian Mickelboro who's a Rollei trained technician, too.

Mr. Brian Mickleboro, 6 Fairway Bishop's Stortford Herts, CM23 5LT e-mail: bjmick@aol.com

I've used him once, and was very happy with the result.

Just picked a 2.8C up from Koh's camera. Working nicely and a reasonable price; he's a factory-trained tech and they say everything is CLA'd before going out the door. ($460 with Rolleigrid and installation...not perfect cosmetics but everything's working silky-smooth.)

I'll vouch for Jimmy Koh -- a great resource
for Rolleiflexes and accessories.

Another one to consider: http://www.krimarphoto.com/
Mr. Krikor is a really nice guy.

Agree re Krimar. I would go with him or Fleenor,depending on your location. Krimar always has a good stock of Rolleiflexes for sale in his shop.

My Rolleiflex T that was serviced by Jurgen Kuschnik only few months ago will most probably be for sale in a mont or two with plenty of accessories. I first must make sure that the Pentax 645N is what I want. But it will be a sad day when the Rollei will go as I have exposed around 100 films without a single issue ...

Sanders, is Ken Hansen still doing private business? I'd suspect he'd have a few Rolleiflices in nice condition.

Is this the guy?

David, of course! Ken is an obvious source
and I forgot all about him -- shame on me.
Jeff, that looks like Ken but you can reach
him directly by email at KHPNY19@aol.com.
Ken, for those who do not know him, was
THE MAN for Rolleiflexes and Leicas for the
pro trade, from his shop on Madison Avenue
from about 1958 to about 2005 or so. Ken
closed the store but continues to trade in
cameras from his apartment. He has all
his stuff serviced before he sells it, and
warrants the sales. There is no better
source than Ken. (I bought my first one
from him, and my Tele Rolleiflex as well.)
