Sure.

Professional Camera Repair - Houston, Texas, Sensor Cleaning, Digital Camera Repair, Film Camera Repair, Medium and Large Format Camera Repairs

A site sponsor also.


But to tell you the truth, it is probably more cost effective to replace it.

Thank you KJ, I will give him that info.
From what he told me only the date
stamp is not working. I told him that
I would not put a lot of money in a
camera that is over ten years old, it
just is not worth it.

being a film camera, people would take it off his hands for at least spare parts. If that is the only thing wrong with it and he regularly uses it,i cant see why not.
