Where to service ETRSi?

<p>Any suggestions?<br>

Thank yo,<br>

Tony</p>

<p>Might be an idea to mention where you live? </p>

would also be interested in hearing the symptoms?

 

btw etrses are very cheap and will probably cost you way less to replace instead of repair.

Koh Cameras are the experts, and

bought a lot of the factory stock.

<p>...but they say they don't do repairs now:<br>

<p>Try asking around about Bronica service at APUG. Don't forget to mention your location.</p>

<p>Oh no :-(</p>

<p>You don't mention where you are, but if you're in the States, you might give Professional Camera Repair in Houston Texas a call:</p>

<p>713-621-3627</p>

<p>They do top notch work, they give free estimates, and their prices are reasonable. I don't know if they do mail order, but I don't see why they wouldn't.</p>

 

<p>Thanks everyone. I'm in B.C. Canada. Will give PCR Houston a call. The problem is the proverbial Film Advance not cocking shutter or advancing film counter and just keeps winding film with a very light click each rotation. Multi-exposure works as it should.<br>

Yes, I have film in it and working battery. Problem could also possibly be not detecting the loaded film, i.e. a bad Film Back.?<br>

Tony</p>

<p>O.K. Got it. An old thread points to stuck/broken/loose pin at bottom of insert which should reach into the film-back and push another pin into camera-back, but now does not protrude enough. Found an old spare insert and camera works. Cheers, new insert/back $50-$70 at KEH.<br>

Thanks again to all.<br>

Hi,

Officially Jimmy Koh no longer does repairs. If it is a simple repair that he has parts for you might be able to have him

do it. Call him and ask. He is only open Tues-Thurs.

Many repair shops won't touch Bronica, others will rip you off. I spent $400 to have my EC-TL's meter fixed, I should of

bought another body instead. It's very likely that your repair will cost at least $110. Consider buying another body.

Regards,

Rick

Hi,

This might be a duplicate post...my previous one never showed up.

First...test your camera with another back. Rule that possibility out.

Jimmy Koh officially does not do repairs , it depend on the nature of the problem and if he has the parts. Call him and

ask.

I recently had to use someone else because he did not have the parts. Many places don't want to work on Bronica's (at

least the places I called). I got ripped off by an outfit in Georgia ($400), I should of bought another body. From your

description, if it is not the back it will cost you at least $110. Consider buying another body.

<p>Frank Marshman (camerawiz.com) did a fine job on my S2a. Not sure if he does all Bronicas but its worth an email to find out.<br>

He's in Virginia.</p>

for the cost of a repair you can buy an entire kit......
