If it only needs disassembly for internal cleaning but not recoating, Sherry Krauter does that work as well. She recently cleaned internal haze out of a Focotar enlarging lens that has been on my enlarger for 30 years. Cost was $75 plus postage, and it looks like new. Others probably do this as well, but I've only had experience with Sherry on this work. Cheers, Kip Disfromage@aol.com wrote: > Fellow LUGnuts, > > I am in need of advice.
