My friend is a collector of cameras. I'm thinking about sending his A-1 off to Ken Oikawa. He's not very well off so I will pay for the refurb in a trade for something of his. The camera is cosmetically beautiful but needs light seals and possible adjustments as well. This may not work as he is loathe to part with anything in his collection.

One suggestion before you send it. My 1984 A-1 started doing this even after Ken's 2009 CLA. It was in about 2018 after sitting around a while that it started hanging up. My remedy --- New battery. Crank, fire. Crank, fire. Crank, fire. Crank, fire... It's still working great.
