Pentax refurb UK

[Andy Into The Wild]

I have recently acquired a Pentax LX film camera that needs some TLC - I think the shutter & maybe film wind mechanism are jammed up. I'd like to get it back on the road as it was my granddad's and would be great to use his camera for shooting.

I have found Johnathon Pye Technical who appear to be a Pentax service company but they seem pretty tricky to get hold of. Are there any other Pentax (or generic film camera) repair centres in the UK?

Thanks

I have used Harrow Technical (Robin Gowing) for several LX, KX and Spotmatic CLA's and fixes in the last couple of years with great satisfaction.

There is a guy called Pramath at Asahi Photo in Brentford (Brentford Radio Control) who fixed my Z-1 and some of my lenses. I haven;t used him for a while though

Excellent thank you all - I will check these options out. Harrow Technical looks very promising!
