    Wisner Traditional 4x5 Camera - tune up and adjustments in SF?

    Hey all - I'm dusting off my Wisner 4x5 from college.

    Any suggestions of a reputable, local place in San Francisco where I can have it taken in for tune up, clean up, check up and adjustments? I have some rust on the brass pieces that I want to have addressed.

    Thanks all - J

    Camera should be ok. It is the lens you would want to check if it has been sitting as long as the camera.

    As to the rust brass does not rust it is tarnish. Best is to scrape that area off and apply some clear finish.
