Rolleicord service and repair - recommendations please
« on: March 17, 2010, 10:37:20 AM »
Hi there
I have a lovely old Rollei that I use a lot in my work but it has recently started to feel its age (haven't we all) and now I can't always cock the shutter and then it won't fire properly.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any shops or individuals in the UK that could service my beloved camera before it stops working completely? It would need to be someone I could get it off to pretty quickly as I have a couple of jobs coming up where I will be needing it.

Thanks
Janet

Try Merchant City Cameras in Glasgow (formerly Quiggs)- they're cheap & good but you may have to give them a call to see if they'll take it:
