xpan frameline stuck on 90mm

[herrstein]

the subject line says it all: my xpan's viewfinder framelines are stuck on the 90mm setting. Any advice? Or is it off to the repair shop?
I am in Chattanooga, TN for recommended repair shops...

Sorry it looks like a repair job. See page two of the thread for a Hasselblad USA estimate of repair cost.

Well, I'm the author of the aforementioned previous thread. I had no 45mm frameline. I sent mine off to Hasselblad USA in New Jersey. I just paid them close to $400 for repair, and my XPAN should be on its way back soon. You would think they could tighten a loose screw someplace to bring back the 45mm frameline. But no, they wanted to replace the whole frameline unit--which cost $200 before factoring in the labor.

So. We will see.
