Contax IIa or IIIa repairs?

[dleibow]

Does anyone know of a reliable repairperson who does not have a 3 year waiting list? Unfortunately Jerry Sorin passed away this week.
Thanks,
David

Essex Camera (www.essexcamera.com) in Carlstadt, N.J., has fixed Nikon rangefinders and Olympus Pen and OM SLRs for me and done a fantastic job on all of them. Essex repairs many makes, including Contax.

Really? Jerry was a relatively young guy.

What happened?

Sorry to hear about Jerry Sorin. His business card is on my desk right now. I agree, I saw him a year ago and he seemed in good health.

Jerry had some health issues from the past. I have started a thread:

Basically, another repairman is FIMA .. at (212) 563-1651.

Jim Richeson at Garland Camera and Repair has rebuilt two shutters for my Contax IIs and one for my Canon Vt Deluxe.
His problem is that he may not have the part but if it can be repaired he can do it. He just turned 80 last month and is still going strong.

His shop of 40 plus years is located just outside of Dallas, TX.
