    Where to get a shutter CLA'd

    Can you please recommend a shop that currently (meaning now, in the year 2015) is able and qualified to clean, lubricate and adjust American made shutters, like the Wollensak Rapax or Ilex Acme Synchro? I have a couple of lenses mounted in those brands of shutters in which the lubricants have dried to such an extent that the shutter speed selector ring is very stiff and the shutter speeds behave erratically. Exercising the shutters at every speed has no effect. It looks like a CLA is necessary.

    Check previous recent threads on this. I don't believe there have been any recent additions/losses.

    Carol at Flutot in California -- one of the great resources of our LF obsession. A joy to work with, and the prices are VERY reasonable.
