Eric Hendrickson is a very nice man. Personally I have not had great luck with his repairs but he's great to deal with. Others swear by him so I think my experience was abnormal. Best of luck. |

I do not go to Pentax forum as I found it to be full of moaners and groaners why Pentax haven't produced a FF body yet,also I find a much more Knowledgeable and mature presence on MF lenses and as a Retired pro prefer the atmosphere on this site.Also after 50+ years shooting with Pentax I was well aware of the Pentax forum so unfortunately your kind reply didn't help much and would still like Eric's email so I will be able to get them repaired,actually I only want the H1 repaired and am going to give the other 2 to him for free for spares. |

The Pentax S/H are easy to fix if the only problem is something like a stuck mirror/shutter.
Remove the bottom plate, squirt the mechanism with lighter fluid and poke around a bit and you usually can get it free.
More complicated problems may not be worth fixing as replacement cameras are really very cheap.
You can get a working S/H body for under $30 pretty easy.

Hello Kryss
As Visualopsins has explained...pentaxs.com...is Eric's own website and not the same as pentax forums site.
When you get to pentaxs.com. then click on "Contact Us" and Eric`s complete address info will show up.
Your good idea has reminded me of at least 10 non working Pentax bodies that I have from garage sales
and thrift stores that I should check with Eric to see if he needs the parts. Better that than letting them
collect dust. Hope you get yours fixed......Gary. |
