So I have a slow-sluggish #5 Ilex shutter coming (with a 14" Comm. Ektar too) -- where is the best place (ie spare parts, experience) to send it off to?
I'd like to avoid SK Grimes prices ;-p

Frank,
Back when I needed my Ilex 5 worked on I sent it to Carol Flutot. It turned out I need a new gear trans for mine and she recommended I go to SK Grimes. I didn't want to spend the dough at the time so I just use it on bulb for 1 second and more exposures, it still works on the faster speeds.
Good luck,
chris
Carol did a brilliant job on my Ilex #3. Also quite reasonable on price. Flutotscamerarepair.com

Frank,
Double check with Carol. She did go through some recent health problems that put things on the back burner, but I thought she was accepting new work now.

In addition to using Carol I have used Paul Ebel.

Camera Wiz (Frank Marshman) did a great job for me on an old Supermatic. Quick turnaround, too, without asking for it.
