I have an Olympus 35 RC that needs new door seals, a CLA, and the meter repaired. The meter was working when the camera was last used, approximately 15 years ago, but now it doesn't appear to work after installing a new battery.
Can anyone recommend someone still repairing these cameras?
Thank you.

There was a thread on RC repairs a couple of year ago:
Repair person/shop for 35 RD?
At that time:
"John Hermanson at Camtech in New York ( zuiko.com )" was working on RCs but not RDs
Blue Moon Camera in Portland OR was also mentioned.
Good luck. The 35RC is one of my favorite small cameras. I gave mine to my older daughter years ago; she used it in high school and college, but it hasn't seen much action in the ensuing decades. -

My XA is currently with John Hermanson at Camtech, but unfortunately, he was unable to help me with my RC and is no longer working on them.
But on a good note, I tried a different battery in my RC, and it does appear that the meter IS still working, so I'll just need to find someone to give it a good CLA and replace the foam light seals.
I just sent an email to Blue Moon Camera and am waiting for a reply!
