Leica CLA and Parts Replacement

[barnwulf]

I sent a Zeiss Super Ikonta and my Leica IIIf to Essex Camera Repair http://essexcamera.com/
They did a CLA and a Shutter replacement on my IIIf and only had it in their shop for about a week. Very fast and excellent service. Jim

I sent out the camera on tuesday to Youxin and ordered the part via ebay to him. He sent me an email saying that he recieved them today(Thursday) and heres what he did to the camera. He did a standard CLA with the addition of:
He cleaned off some rust on the exterior.
The higher shutter speeds were too slow, he fixed them.
There was haze in the finder, he cleaned that.
He also put on the rewind lever free of charge.

He has sent out the camera today, wow he is very fast!

I'll update this once I receive the camera, but it seems like he did an excellent job.

Thanks,
Kyle

I've had various cameras worked on and rank the repairers in this order:
DAG
Youxin
Sherry

DAG himself vouched for Youxin's ability and skill to me.

To elaborate - I've had some issues with Sherry's work in terms of quality control, based on an experience I had with a M6 rangefinder adjustment. DAG seems to be very meticulous and always gets it right. Youxin is fast, and I've never had any complaints.

Ha, DAG turned my M6 into a pile of parts.
