    Does anyone have a preferred place to send their film cameras for CLA and/or repair?

    At the very least, I mean fixing squeals on A-series cameras.

    I also have a AE1 that makes a squeal each time I fire the shutter. I have had a look online, and so long as you are happy with using a small JIS screwdriver it does not look to be an impossible, or hard fix.

    I just need the time to do it.

    Depends where you are I guess - I have a good camera tech in the UK who does all the stuff I can't. I like to fiddle and mess about a fair bit but there are some jobs I just wont touch.
