The thing is the one that when on me was really good up on until that point of jaming then the motor going / made so may film's with her,so if I get another one what too stop this one from happening too , there are old camera now 40 year's , so at some point need's to be CLA ,
so that why I would like to get my one fixed while I still can ! then it's good for year's to come ,

other wise I end up with so many dead Leicina special over the year's , If all work out ,will put there name out there! but for Now will wait on the report ?

If you get it serviced, let us know what went wrong.
Would be good to know what sort of things might go wrong with such cameras. Sounds like you've had some bad luck.
I have two of them - working fine - however I would never part with them. They are indeed quite special.

WIll do Carl ,
Don"t see it as bad luck just A camera that is Special to me , needing some TLC , As you know ! no two camera are the same even if it the same make, I am more happy I found someone to CLA it and that have the parts , this was a job in it self ,

If i got a new old one from EBay the thing is you do not know how long you have before it's going to go on you , then there are still not cheap to buy , so still work's out cheaper to get my Baby Fixed , And I miss Her ! and if all is well have her running for years to come ,

Any way that's reason what I tell myself , but my back up Leicina special she's good to go ,

The web page doesn't have an english translation, but they're the best of the best.
Also, it's the unique place in the world to fix a faulty light meter on the Nikon R-10...

Give it a try!
