Desperate but not serious
So, the winder on Tx1 stopped working and Fuji USA says they have zero parts for fixing this. So, who here in the USA can fix a Tx1 or Xpan?

This is why I just sold my TX-2. The fear of a difficult repaiur due to parts shortage. May be worth buying a spare parts camera for instances like this.

I’m sure you know this, but just in case... Xpan won’t wind a film if you have your ISO dial set to DX and the film doesn’t have DX code or it’s unreadable.
Anyway, you could ask Hasselblad UK. I had my on/off dial replaced and bulb time extended there. They said that they didn’t know if the part is still available but agreed to forward the camera to parent company and it came back fixed.
Another option in Europe for me at the time was Wilco Jansen (he had the on/off switch part but couldn’t extend the bulb time)...

Another option in Europe is Ulf Kühn in Germany, who was the official repair person for Hasselblad until they terminated the service. He can be reached through the Hasselblad Service in Ahrensburg/Germany. He took care of my Xpan when it was necessary.
