Good USA repairer for Pentax P&S film cameras?

*ChrisPlatt* · 01-25-2008, 05:45 PM

I have a broken Pentax Espio Mini (UC-1) plus a spare parts donor camera.
Can anyone recommend a good USA repairer for Pentax P&S film cameras?

TIA,
Chris

This is just a shot, but send Eric Hendrickson at pentax27@aol.com an email and explain your problem. I have no personal interest in this.
Good luck

Eric doesn't service this model.

Any other ideas?

Have you try KEH ???

Pentax recommended them, and I have had good experiences buying from KEH.
Do they have their own repair department or is everything sent to subcontractors?

I have not use KEH for repairing myself . Since they are such a big store , around for quite a while , they might have in-store specialists . Give them a call . Ain't hurt nothing

They quoted me $90 as the basic charge for the repair of this model.
