    Who's still repairing Deardorff cameras in 2023?

    I got a Deardorff today in the mail and unfortunately the back suffered some damage. Here's a link to the pictures, I'm sorry for not posting them directly here. I'll edit the post later once I navigate the uploading pictures here thing. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/adr5g6wxt..._vq_jkDfa?dl=0

    The back is the only part that suffered damage, so fortunately I only have to deal with that. Who's repairing Deardorff or can refurbish the back nowadays?

    Thank you!

    Late response here. If you haven't gotten your Deardorff repaired yet, contact Ken Hough. He is the best Deardorff repair guy there is (used to work for Deardorff). I assume he is still around. His facebook page says he is retired, but maybe he still does a repair job or two. He repaired my Deardorff 8x10 many years ago when it was damaged in shipping. He also contacted me a couple months ago (I was still on his records) for serial number info on my Deardorff.
