I own a Taylor-Hobson Cooke Series II Portrait Anastigmat 12.75" F/4.5 lens, the "Brass Knuckle" variety. The glass is very clean, the diaphragm blades and mechanism are perfect, but the Brass Knuckle soft focus mechanism is frozen. Does anyone know of someone that can repair this? The brass of the lens is not in great shape, but the lens is otherwise in good shape. Does anyone happen to know if it is best to repair the soft focus mechanism before sale (if I choose to sell it), or does it make more sense to sell the lens in it's current state? Thank you.
