I have an old S1a to which I am sentimentally attached - I've had it since 1964. In between I have gone the whole route through most formats and manufacturers (well, it's a long time!). This body has been in a metal case for 20ish years and just been retrieved from France. It obviously needs a CLA not least for the foam seals but also the shutter which although jammed on retrieval now partly functions - the curtains don't meet after the 'exposure' has been made - so:
1. Is it reparable?
2. Any ideas on where?
3. Any clues to likely cost?
Although have a fully functioning LX and a Program A for when being lazy I would love to get the old girl up and running again if for no other reasons than this was my first 'proper' camera.
Any help / pointers / tips would be most gratefully received.
Thanks.
