Ambi Silette: guaranteed for life

I just sent Agfa an e-mail and a link to that ad. My Ambi Silette needs a bit of service as well, so I'll let you know what happens!
 
Is the guarantee transferrable? You might be in luck if you still have the original sales receipt from new.;)
 
I wonder how long it's been since Agfa actually made a film
camera. I know they marketed some APS cameras at some point
that were made by someone else and they had their ePhoto digital
cameras. But what was the last real made-by-Agfa film camera?
 
Does anybody know if Voigtlander had a guarantee like that? My 1950's vintage VITO CL has a nonfunctioning selenium meter. The 50mm f/2.8 COLOR-SKOPAR lens is a gem.
 
There is no Voigtlander the company Al, only the trademark is left.
 
I know that only the name exists today. I was curious about the original guarantee. I have no plans to fix it. It is fun to use, and it's nice to have on the rare occasion I want to use flash fill outside at 1/250 or 1/500. Inside you really need to carry a flash because the slowest speed is 1/15.

It may be the same situation with Agfa. Agfa Gevaert spun off Agfa Photo, which then declared bankruptcy. It may have carried any remaining liabilities for Agfa-branded camera warranties with it. Probably some bankruptcy lawyers would know.
