How to send your
equipment for a free estimate (with repair)?
US Postal services or FEDEX insured for
the correct value, your street address and your phone number. It is
very important to attach a note describing what you think is the
problem to:
Walter's Camera Repairs
811 West Cesar E. Chavez Ave.
Los Angeles CA. 90012.
Note: If you refuse
our estimate!! , which rarely happened, you pay only the cost for
shipping it back to you.
Example
of cost
Pentax Spotmatic, Mamiya, Minolta STRs,
etc.... Meter calibration for alkaline batteries , starting at $60.00
(us) + shipping ($8.50).
The above plus clean, lube and new foam
starting at $75.00 + shipping ($8.50)
Why alkaline or silver oxide
battery?
According to our experience and STP
journal, the zinc-air batteries are problems when used with cameras,
they were designed specifically for hearing aids.

"Squeaky" shutter, new foam
(light seal) and clean -except viewfinder in canon AE-1 , $100.00 +
$8.00 for shipping.
Why
we give free estimates (with repair)? [not bulk price]
Every camera has it's own unique problem,
problems often appear to be big but surprisingly actually are small
and simple. Why should we penalize our customers?.
It is to our customers best interest, for
us to check and estimate each camera in need of repair,
we will NOT give estimate
by phone.
Estimates are free! (if you leave the
item for repair), Your only cost is the shipping, it is quite
possible we will buy your broken camera if you feel that you do not
want it anymore.

Repair Suggest : How to keep you camera in good shape?
1- Don't leave any camera in a car.
Excessive vibration or heat will cause trouble.
2- Remove batteries, if not in use for
extended period of time.
3- Have your equipment checked once a
year by a reliable repair shop.
4- Make sure batteries are fresh and good
quality.
5- Sand and water are to be avoided.
6- Filters on your lens are good
insurance against denting the barrel and protecting the lens from
dirt.
7- Don't use cleaning solvents on cameras
or lenses.
8- Never force the last exposure.
9- Don't use photographic lens tissue for
cleaning lenses.
10- Your camera is your best friend, it
keeps your memories alive on pictures.
