Seagull 4A where to get fixed?
 

Hi,
My Seagull 4A appears to have a jammed shutter, no click when the button
is pressed. Could someone recommend a camera repair place in the UK?
Alternatively what can I replace it with?

Thanks

No idea on repair. Replacement, I've got a Mamiya C330f which I am very
happy with, but for a non "system" camera how about a Yashicamat? Not used
one myself, but it would seem like the obvious answer.

Perhaps a C220?

Do a search for Rolleiflex repair people in the UK and
check if they will work on it, in the US I could make
suggestions but I don't know who is good in the UK.
If you want to replace it look for a Rolleicord or
Rolleiflex. They are excellent cameras and not too expensive
used, of course depending on the model. Assume that any used
camera needs a CLA although you may get lucky.

I don't know the various Seagull models, but B&H sells the GC-104 for
$140:

and the GC-108 for $280:

and two other models in-between. A shutter repair would likely cost at
least half as much as the cheapest one.
