Move down this page to the Menu and locate your classic camera. I have been repairing 35mm film cameras since 1978. Call or email before you send your camera to find out my turnaround. Restoring a camera normally takes about three days which means I can only serivce about three cameras a week or twelve a month. The customer usually wants their camera restored to good working condition so they can start using it to take film pictures again for enjoyment. Most of the cameras sent to ACR stopped working years ago and were stored. What counts is how much film has been run through the camera. It's not how the camera looks externally that's important. I can't make them look new or operate new, but I can restore them to good working order if the camera is not worn out from use.
I can service many of the classic manual focus slrs that no longer have factory parts available, and many cameras that other repair shops say are unrepairable.
At ACR I specialize in mail order camera restoration of classic manual focus 35mm film cameras dating from 1960 to 1990.
