Also, they guarantee the camera against further defects for 6 months. Not bad for an approximately 50 year old camera.

Don't they charge a fortune for repairs?
It may seem expensive compared to the cost of buying an old camera like this, and you'll never re-coup the expenditure on selling it, but if you want to use a 50 year old camera for another 50 years it'll be worth every penny. I've had quite a few of my cameras serviced and don't regret the money at all.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Chris,
Pentax K1ii, K3, K-m & MX-1.
Pentax LX, MX, ME Super & MV.
"Old Skool" with the new!
I've used Harrow Technical for 2 cameras, the price was reasonable, the service was excellent and the work carried out was top class. Recomended!
I'll second that. K.

They'll also sell you spare parts individually if you ask nicely

I'd be surprised if they would touch 50 year old classic cameras. My experience with them for modern stuff was mediocre.

I'll second that, on the basis of having two smc-A lenses serviced (and one of them repaired). Nice people.
