Trying to get Asahi Pentax model K repaired.

Oz Etkin · 04-18-2023, 03:28 PM

I have my grandfather's old Pentax K in need of repair. The winding lever is stuck, and the shutter curtains need to be replaced. I have already sent it to Eric Hendrickson and he was kind enough to diagnose the problem, but unfortunately did not have the parts needed to repair it.
Is there anyone who works on these cameras who is able to replace the shutter curtains and the main winding shaft?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

If Eric is a no go, that makes it harder.
Check with Mike at Phototronic.biz
Tell him I sent you

Thanks,

If you can provide Eric with a donor body for the parts he may be able to fix. But then the donor might be in better shape then yours.
