CLA for Canonet gL17 giii - Where in USA?

[Paul B]

I've searched the forum and have been unable to find a recommendation for where to send one of these for a CLA.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Paul

I sent one of mine that died to Mark Hama. It took longer than expected (couple months vs quoted couple weeks), but came back working again. Although the flash hot shoe didn't work anymore.. which i'm sure I could've sent it back for, but I didn't care and didn't feel like waiting again.

Steve's Camera here in L.A. (Culver City actually) did some adjustments to my M6 when I got it, which only took 2 days, and if my Canonet needed work again, i'd probably send it to him.

Any camera repair place that is competent with mechanical cameras should be able to work on it. Nothing exotic.

Mine was overhauled by Sanford Camera Repair by a prior owner (sticker inside). No idea what they paid, I got it for $20 (with gross case) at Zeff Camera's sidewalk sale a few years ago. (Yeah, lucky.)

I recommend Stephen Gandy at CameraQuest. He did a superb job on mine.

Mark Hama is pretty reliable, as said before, but needs a nudge via email now and again to get him moving. He's in GA. Try googling him.

Thank you all.
