Konica Autoreflex T3 servicing? Greg Weber active?

[shorelineae]

Is Greg Weber (http://www.webercamera.com/repairs.html) active? I tried emailing him several times and even placed an international call, but I haven't received any response?

He is reputed - on the internet - to be the go-to repair man for Konica SLRs.

Any other suggestions for repairmen who are willing to tackle a Konica Auto-Reflex T3?

Thanks

He repaired a camera for me last September, no problem and nicely done. He’s very busy, but the turnaround time wasn’t bad, and better than most techs, at least in my one experience. If I recall correctly, there may be more than one email address or more than one phone number out there on the web for him, and only one of them works. Old web site vs. newer. He does seem to be easier to get on the phone than by email. But, in my limited experience, he’s going to answer the phone if he’s there by the phone, and will patiently answer any questions you have in great detail, but he’s not always there, and if you leave a message or send an email it may be a while until you get a return response.
I’d say just keep trying and make sure you try every phone number and email you can find for him.

I actually spoke with him this afternoon about repairing a couple Autoreflex cameras and a Konica IIIA. He is very much still active and repairing, although he said he has a several week backlog. The (877) number doesn't work. I used the following number: (402) 721-3873.

Thanks. The problem is that I get an answering machine saying “this number cannot accept calls from an unidentified number. If you are a solicitor, please hang up now. Else, enter your (x) digital number.”

Next when I enter the international number I am calling from, i get no further response. So I don’t even know he is getting my calls. Quite frustrating, maybe he doesn’t take international orders....?

I didnt get any response upon emailing the purportedly new email address on his website.

Update: I sent my Autoreflex T3 to "Advance Camera" in Portland, Oregon.

They were easy to reach and responsive.
