You can also try Luton Camera Repair; I had a 35 SP CLA'd and repaired by them in 2009. The job was up to the highest standards. The camera looks and operates as new.

Btw, I am glad to hear that Axco also services Oly r/fs. Thanks for the info, Zuikologist!

Thanks for the info. It has already gone to Newton & Ellis in Liverpool for a CLA, new seals, focus alignment and film transport adjustment for £100 which seems reasonable as I got it cheap and the total is within the retail value of the camera if I don't like it. I'll report back the results.

Hi again! Any news on the CLA/repair job? It might be interesting to have some options available on this side of the pond, now that John Hermanson stopped working on rangefinders...

The camera is back and seems fine. but I haven't had a chance to run a film through yet. It was just over £100 for CLA, film transport correction, focus adjustment and voltage conversion. I'll post again when I know some more.

Thanks for the quick reply. And yes, please let us know the result once you run a film through.
Cheers,
