Has anyone used Krimar Photo in NJ for Rollei repairs? I've got a Rollei 35S with a film advance lever that jammed on a recent trip; I can't fire the shutter or retract the lens and the film advance won't move beyond the halfway point. Since Essex closed I'm looking for repair options. I know about Harry Fleenor but understand he's expensive. Anyone used Krikor, for either a Rollei 35 or Rollei TLR repair?

Thanks!

He's very good and extremely fast. I had a Rollei TLR that he fixed and it came back with a slight problem. I sent it back and called him the day it was delivered by USPS to confirm that he had it. I was told that the fix was already done and USPS had already picked it up to return it to me.
 
I have a 35T with a similar problem. Very common- a plastic gear cracks or strips in the wind on mechanism. I think any camera repair could do it, though whether a place has the replacement part available or has to machine it is a big decider.
 
Yes, he worked on a 35SE for me a few years ago -- shutter needed cleaning mainly. I wouldn't hesitate to send him a 35.
