Best Camera repair company for a Canon F-1n in New York City?

I'm looking to treat my Super Mint Canon F-1n to a CLA.

Who is best recommended? Don't wanna have just anybody mess it up.

Regards.

You could try Nippon photo clinic, they are near the flatiron district. Though no promises, they do a large amount of work on cameras, but their service has been slipping. I took in a pair of rangefinders, and after a week said they wouldnt CLA them because of age. 1-2 day evaluation turned into a week, and would have been longer if I didnt call them on it. You might as well send it to Essex which I hear is good, but have never tried. A bit wary of mailing my items, but I might have to drive up there sometime.

I would cross the Hudson and take it to Essex Camera Service in Carlstadt, NJ. They overhauled two F-1 bodies for me and many other pieces of equiment and do excellent work.
