Topic: Camera repairs

[This-is-damion]

 I was trying my best to start taking pictures more regularly again.  Picked up my Bessa R3A... it seems as dead as a doornail - fresh batteries and wont advance the winder etc

As a backup  - picked up my Ricoh GR1 - the LCD viewfinder has been dead a while but other than that it worked OK...  well it did..  again  - seems to be dead.  Powers on and seemed to engage the film but thats about it. 

The only reliable post i found about Ricoh repairs refers to a company thats now dissolved.. 

Does anyone have any good leads for UK based companies who might still fix cameras?   Bessa's & Ricohs specifically..

Hi Damion. I tried to PM you but you are set to not receive PMs.

I can maybe help with the Bessa. PM me or use the email on my website (link below).

Cosina Japan are more than happy to fix Bessa.
They CLAed my R3a a short time ago...

Good to see that they really stand behind their products.

The only completely reliable unit I have is a home made 4X5 pinhole camera.
 On second thought I do have to make sure my film holders are good.
