Two Leica (pre-war) need repair

[Julian Tanase]

I was visiting a friend of mine yesterday, who happens to have an extensive collection of vintage cameras. He has some 7 or 8 Leica old ones. Some are in rather bad shape, being neglected over tens of years. Not used since the 80s, with damages to various parts.

I am looking for a good repair shop in Europe, preferably within the EU. The cameras are these, and this is their current condition:



Leica IIIC - 1940



Leica Standard - 1936

Well they certainly have some patina that's for sure!

The only place I know is Sprockets in the UK and they tend to be repairs and CLA not restoration. @Hamish Gill might know somewhere else. The list in this link might be useful too.
