Nikon N2000 and/or Leica Mini repair?

[shawn]

I know this is probably a long shot but does anyone know of a person that works on Nikon N2000 cameras?



My father bought this unassuming combo (with Nikon film bandolier strap) to replace a Minolta SRT(101 or 102 I think). I almost immediately 'borrowed' it from him, bought the AA battery bottom, and carried it literally every day throughout high school and shot the hell out of it. This is the camera I learned so much on.

When I graduated I bought myself a Nikon and returned this to my father.

Somewhere later on the mirror got knocked out of alignment and the camera was retired. My father bought a Leica Mini that he was so proud of and used that instead.




My Dad passed away last week. My brother happened to find this old friend again in my father's things and when he pulled it out it wrecked me.

I'd really like to get it repaired if possible.

Likewise, the Leica Mini died on my father too. Just doesn't power up at all. If somebody works on those that would be good. But it is really the Nikon I'd be thrilled to get up and working again.

I have probably thousands of slides of his to digitize in the coming days too.

Thanks.

For the Mini I would contact Aleksandr Gordiychuk :

i got this camera for free. rewind motor was not spinning. from this side is nothing suspicious was found and i assembled gears back turned out that gear of the reducer are cracked. i glued it together with cyanoacrylate (super glue). looks shitty, and i can't call it a "repair" but for me it…

Don't have any recommendations for the Nikon.

My condolences for your loss.

Where in the world are you? CameraTiks in Edinburgh do repair old Nikons, not sure about that one specifically.
