Repairs
At Classic Camera we don't specialise. We repair all film cameras.
Cameras from 1900- 2000 is the date range we attempt to cover. Fully mechanical cameras are more repairable than cameras with electronics.
If you need a repair, please submit the Repair Enquires form.
What we Fix
Sadly cameras that need spare parts to complete the repairs may not be repairable.
We have some parts cameras but not every part needed.
Most repairs are a combination of the following issues: mold, grease and oil drying up, batteries being left in the camera to corrode plus impact damage.
What to do if Your Camera Stops Working
If your camera stops working do not attempt repair. Please leave it as it is as self repair or forcing things usually renders them unrepairable.
