Sinar X (stripped down P2) Rear Standard Repair

[charleymeyer]

Hi, I'm looking for a Sinar repair technician that can repair these standards, preferably in the SF Bay area, but am open to any other suggestions. I think I've broken the rear focus shaft/gear so the knob turns freely. Thanks

Did the shaft break or the gear track? The gear track is a nylon composition and is designed to fail before the more expensive brass gear on the focus shaft. My P2 had that issue and I was able to buy the track and replace it myself. I would check with Keeble and Shuchat.

when I had a Sinar p rear standard KEH repaired it when a plastic nob cracked, also have you called Sinar-Bron directly? They have an office in NJ I believe.

Thanks John and Ben, I'll check at K&S, but I suspect it will ultimately go to Sinar-Bron.
