Arrived one Voigtlander Vitessa L with f2 Ultron lens. in leather ERC absolutely immaculate, even the meter works Unfortunately the shutter does not work at any speed. It appears to get cocked with the film wind plunger but nothing happens.
Any suggestions for a Synchro Compur repairer in the UK? I have tried a few repairers, mostly they do not touch film cameras. Or I cannot get an answer.
An interesting result, one repairer wanted £269 this I assume is because they don't want the work, (how much does a camera mechanic earn for goodness sake?) I could buy two good working Vitessas for that price, another wanted £169 and the third who is about 6 miles away wants £65 so it is going off to him, if it wasn't for the virus I would take it there. I thought that companies would welcome any sort of work these days.
Now had a definite quote from the local person for shutter repair & CLA of the Vitessa for £70 - sounds good to me.

The Vitessa has returned, shutter working and has been CLA'd for £70. Well worth it and I couldn't have taken it to the repairer's workshop, he is 'no callers'.
