I love this little camera and want to get it back to 100%. I purchased it off these forums a few years ago knowing that the fill advance counter does not work with hopes to fix it. After a few moves I finally found it and wanted to run some film through it. It works great with a few exceptions.
1.) The film counter does not work ( I remember it being a somewhat technical fix).
2.) The 2 rolls that I have put through it have produced scratches on the negatives about every fourth frame that runs about 4 frames. This one baffles me because I opened it up and did not find any protrusions that might cause this. Ideas?
Ultimately with how busy I am with work, I would like to just take it to someone to fix. It doesn't really matter where in the USA but I do not know where to start looking. I did a basic google search "canonet QL17 repair" but it yielded no real good results. I vaguely remember that there was a member "Greyhoundman" maybe that might have done repairs?
Thanks in advance,
