A lot of places are gone these days. I would check out Berry Camera Repair on 6th Avenue. 212-685-9334
There is also a repair place down on 13th Street between 3rd and 4th Ave., closer to 4th, on south side of street. I can't remember their name.

actually, one of the best places you could take an older camera is not that far south of you: Essex Camera Services, in NJ.

I bought a ZI Super Ikonta 6x6mm which had the often mentioned "frame overlap" problem. I took the camera to Panorama Camera on 30th St in NYC for repair. When I picked it up, Fima explained that the winding mechanism was not broken but designed for a 120 film with different width of the paper backing. Fima made a gear that works with the width of the modern film. The camera works great, no overlap problem. Fima has also repaired my Welta folder and CLA'd my Contax II and IIa. I highly recommend Panorama!

that is very good! i havnt heard of anyone making a new gear before for S'Ikonta--that would be the most professional fix i have come across.
FWIW they meant thickness of the film, not the width but i get what you meant--the older film had thicker backing paper so everybody says. using the thinner material that modern films have, gives smaller to overlaping spaces with the auto wind mechanisms on many of those type of cameras

Yes, I thought "thickness" and wrote "width". Guess I should not write at this hour! Fima at Panorama will make a part if he discovers one is missing. His shop is also fun to visit - a lot of old cameras on display and for sale.
