It was partially repaired. Now fan won't turn off. At first no cooling fan, and no light. Now light and timed circuit, but fan won't turn off. It also goes through the correct start-up with shutter opening and closing. The problems started suddenly. Live in Washington State. I have a schematic and other info, thank to ic-racer in 2020. Need to get it repaired.

Maybe post in the WTB section?
Or something silly like Craigslist?

With a schematic at hand and a general explanation of how everything is supposed to operate, any electronics enthusiast with some decent experience should be able to at least get quite far with this. Among photographers those are surely present, but my bet is that outside the photo community your chances are higher.

One of my other (now dormant) hobbies is vacuum tube audio; lots of guys over there who would probably be happy to lend you a hand. Or maybe a HAM enthusiast. There's some of those on LFPF as well.

Sorry I can't be of any more concrete help; I'm a continent away from your location, so of not much use to you.
