shutter/wind on prob on Konica Auto S2

[stephen_lumsden]

Hi

Got an Audo S2 on Ebay, but it seems the shutter is broke or will not budge inany case. I would rather pay for a CLA than try to get a new one and I have tried the DIY solution found on the web, but I am either too unable/unskilled/uninterested to do it myself. Does anybody know where I could get it fixed for a reasonable (c.£40) in the UK?

I would suggest a phone call to Newton & Ellis in Liverpool - tell them the type of camera and fault and ask for an estimate. It cost me £50 to get a Retina fixed with a similar problem and they had to source a new cocking rack which are like hen's teeth. They even knocked out all the dings in the body too!

I have no relationship with them, other than a satisfied customer - they have kept my Retinas and Nikon F2 running for the past 18 years.

Hello, John. Just curious, what is a "plastic photographer" ?

Hi,
My personal recommendation would be Michael Spencer. His work is first class and his prices are about 2/3 of everyone else I have tried and should be within your budget. Contact details:http://www.btinternet.com/~camerarepairer/

Hi bruhl,

I suppose I could spend ages explaining about how life is different through a lens, the photographer bing insulated from the event by the vf, etc, etc. The honest answer is that I like using plastic (aka "toy") cameras as well as my rf beauties.

Or am I just a cheap facsimile of the real me????? 😉
