morizklonner Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hello everybody! I recently got a New F1 really cheap. It is in excellent condition with only some brassing around the strap-swivel and the bottom plate. Only issue is: The camera did not fire with a battery inside. Even with the one from my other F1, which would happily fire with it. With a brand new battery it did fire, but then after one minute nothing again, and I noticed that the battery inside got really warm. I'm thinking some bad switch or connection inside, however, I am rather confident that this can be fixed by a professional ( I will not attempt to open a New F1 for a second time, tried that once ^^) So can anybody suggest a good place for servicing in Germany or Austria?

denny_rane Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yes, Ken is very good. His English, on the phone, can be tricky.....but just send him the camera with no worries. He is honest and can work on the Canon F-1 in his sleep..:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck909 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yes, you DO have to pay attention to his English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denny_rane Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm sorry. I was playing Follow The Leader. Did not realize your location. I am sure there must be a few people in Europe than are good with the F-1.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
