A while back I received the message below from PROCAM "North Americas Number One Bolex Service and Sales Facility, Serving the US and Canada"

Good thing I took notes 12 years ago last time I serviced my Bolex.

Hello,
unfortunately, Bolex repairs are no longer supported at this time, sorry.

Karl Bryan repairs and sells the Minolta Autocord. I had him service mine 14 years ago and I just bought another from him today. Very quick turnaround for service, only 5 days! He had 4 fully serviced Autocords available at very reasonable prices ($300-$400).

Here is his current email, I found him very responsive:

karlkathy99 [at] gmail.com

He is located in Oregon, USA.

Our member @forest bagger is located in Germany/Bavaria and has been running a repair shop for many years, focusing on Nikon DSLRs and Nikkor lenses.

Michael nearly solves every problem, I recommend him from my own experience without reservation:

In the German Nikon Fotografie-Forum, Michael is present with his work in the repair forum (nick „Beuteltier“):

According to their website they announce that they work "'part-time' mode, for a while longer but only on certain film cameras and lighting systems of our choice like Hasselblad, Rolleiflex,
Leica "M" serie, Bronica, Mamiya, and few others. Also on lightning equipments like Speedotron, Paul C. Buff, Photogenic, etc."

According to @OAPOli, they service focal plane Hasselblads (e.g. 2000FC) and are also specialist for the Rolleiflex SL66: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threa...ter-curtain-will-not-open.212016/post-2871450

They repaired my GW690II about 10 years ago. I broke it on my Route 66 trip and had to proceed with my Fuji digital camera
