In a recent trade I ended up with a Contarex bullseye with 21 f/4.5, 35 f/4, 50 f/2, 85 f/2, and 135 f/4 lenses. All of the lenses seem to be free from fungus. The problem is that all of the lenses except for the 21mm are jammed. A scan of the web seems to indicate this is due to the type of lube used with these lenses.

I am looking for a recommendation for someone that can repair these lenses and do a CLA on the camera as well. Is this a camera and lens set worth restoring?
 
A lens CLA should be not too tricky, a good & competent camera repairman should be able to handle it.

For the camera, since you're in the US, the most obvious choice would be Henry Scherer, if you can live with the man's ego and turnaround.
