Tower Type-3 shutter replacement recommendations?

[Blake Werts]

Hi all,

I've got a very nice Tower type-3 that has sprung a few light leaks in the shutter curtains. Any recommendations on who can do a good shutter replacement in the US? Expected costs?

Thanks Much,
Blake

Tower type-3 shutter curtain repair update

Wanted to post an update here on the Tower type-3 shutter curtain replacement work: Fellow rangerfinderforum member Brian Sweeney offered me a suggestion to contact Youxin Ye of Canton, MA. And what a great suggestion it was!

Youxin received my Tower type-3 body on Monday, July 13th and had it back in my hands on Friday, July 17th with new shutter curtains and a full CLA. I ran a test roll through it over the weekend and I have to say that the work seems superb. Of course the light leaks that I was experiencing are gone. Additionally, the entire feel of the camera just seems so smooth and nice after the clean and lube.

Highly recommended!
Blake

Youxin's work is first class, he has a passion for Leica cameras and close copies. I've sent him Seven of my cameras, including a Leotax D-IV that he put new curtains in.
