Good work! Those are a beast to repair when the grease has fully solidified.
What just came back from repair?

This is an older post, but I just saw it.
Hopefully you came to your senses and dropped all thought of selling a Tiranty IIIa. Some things are best kept around.

Nope gone - already with its new owner in California. The Noritas however are still with my repair fellow.
The latest camera that I now love is - wait for it - a Canon AE-1. Some things just can’t be explained.

Not quite returned from repair - I managed to replace the shutter straps and ribbons on this Contax II - winding is a bit stiff, possibly due to incorrect materials being used, but it works at all speeds.

I just received a Pentax KM body and SMC Pentax (K) 28/3.5 lens, serviced by Eric Hendrickson.
He didn't service the SMC Pentax (K) 50/1.8 lens due to separation.
I'm deciding what to send him next, along with my recently acquired K1000 body.

I just received my Pentax MZ-S after a short trip to Sam Gustafson for his attention. He replaced the shutter gear and the broken mirror lever and did a magnificent job. It is working perfectly now and I have been running around the neighborhood with a roll of color film and the 31mm Limited lens happily snapping away. I am thrilled to have it back in my hands again. As soon as I get this roll developed I'll post a few photos.
Thank you very much Sam for returning an old friend. I don't think he does this for a living but if you need his help or advice on a Pentax SLR he can be found at Pentaxforums.com and goes by the handle of @vandergus.

I have a beautiful '33 Contax III w/1.5 on it that I have to send to Oleg. But shipping and international trade is so screwed up and changing on an almost daily basis that I am unwilling too send anything overseas.
Related, I bought two batteries and a charger for the Q3 from Ali Express. It looks like I can kiss them goodbye. It as been months now with no delivery and the Ali Express interface is a total chaotic mess. eBay will be my source. And I will just write of Ali Express for now and forever.

What a beautiful camera! Ancient, but those Medalists seem to go on and on. One of the most sturdy cameras ever manufactured. In the days when American Made meant top quality.
I've always wanted one, but they don't seem to have been popular in Australia, or maybe more so they were unaffordable. Someone once told me the few that are still around were left behind by US military after WW2, not sure if this story is accurate but even then it's an musing tall tale.
In 45 years I've seen only two come in the camera shops. Both in Sydney. And both went in one or two days. My loss.

A Nikon D800. Somehow the flash card whatnot (the in-camera insert or holder I guess) got damaged and no longer read the larger card. So it had to be replaced. A good job, well done, works fine.
I had a quote of S$140 (in Singapore dollars (close to about AUD $200), but as I've no plans to be there in the near future, I decided to instead have it done in Melbourne.
It cost half the price I paid for the camera (secondhand), but hey! this is Australia.

My Contax II is still with Oleg, since he can't ship it back to me.
