I have had great luck with Camera Solutions in Portland Oregon and Custom Camera Craft in Portland though Bill at CC is 80+ and sometimes a bit slow, he was trained pre WW2 by Leitz and Rollei and if he can not find a part he will make one in his machine shop. Last CLA I had done (IIIf RD no ST) ran $219 for the body and about $100 for a Summitar.
