Linhof CLA and standard plate repair

[jberriermd]

Hello!

I am new here and just recently purchased a Linhof Technika V. I am curious as to recommendations and suggestions for where to have a CLA done as well as the base plate on the standard replaced.

Laflex comes up first on google, seems reasonable but I am unable to find any other information outside of their website.

Does any one have any experience with them or other other referrals/testimonials

Much appreciated!

Pro in IL is the factory service,center in the USA. They would be your best choice.

Much appreciated!

I found that along with nippon, given the frequency I see your name on here and helpfulness I will go with your recommendation :)

Excited to get this back, I have only shot with a speed graphic before, I got the 90mm f/8 for this. Hoping to document some of the abandoned steel mills in the area

He has worked on my Master Technika IV "Classic" 2-3 times, and also on my Mamiya 7ii backs, always to excellent effect.

Absolutely, but they are not in Niles. They are in Skokie!

I didn't know Mr. Watkins had moved, but I suspect his new address in Skokie is a bit closer to my home in Racine WI area, and probably easier to find - 'all good.

Bob moved recently to a larger and much nicer space that yes, is in Skokie.
