In the past I've used Frank Marshman, but I'm not sure he's still in business. My 501 C/M is all jammed up. Typical tricks don't work and the screw for returning the mirror won't stay wound. Anyway, I need someone who knows their way around one of these cameras. This 501 is pretty low mileage, and I'd like to keep her running

Thanks in advance for any hints or tips for someone who has done good work.
 
I have had my SWC CLA'd and Rollei 3.5F checked out by Kiwi Camera Service in Orlando, FL. Mike Livera is a one man shop and has completed nice repairs for me.
 
David Odess is the man to go to. He’s factory trained and has the equipment. He worked for Hasselblad as I understand. I’ve had him do a few repairs and have a 100 Planar CF I’m need to send him. His work is excellent.

Also I believe Hasselblad still services them.

I am not sure if he has actually retired per se, but he's certainly still very active on the Learn Camera Repair Facebook group. I think he's still does some repairs, Vince Lupo might be able to provide more details. For Hasselblad work however David Odess is very hard to better.
 
I'm fortunate that he lives within an hour drive of me. I'm unfortunate that I currently don't own any Hasselblad equipment. I've heard nothing but good things about him.

Ah yes the Marshman is still doing repairs from his home - he just finished doing battle with my Ermanox and has two more cameras of mine on deck.
 
David Odess has overhauled an SWC, an 80mm lens, an extension tube, and two film backs for me. Always top quality work, fixed once and fixed right.
