I have never had Henry overhaul any of my cameras. I have only heard the highest praise for his work; the only criticism is that he is back-logged, itself an endorsement of the quality of his repairs.
However, Henry tends to develop theories about Zeiss Ikon cameras and then to preach these so that they do develop some traction. Several times, over on the Zeiss Ikon Collectors' Group, we have tried to run down such rumors and all, in the end, trace back to Henry. I suspect that that is what has happened here. Henry has developed a theory unique to himself that there is some inherent design flaw in the film-spacing on Super Ikonta cameras. He has said this so many times that others have come to believe it and, now, when you hear, "I have heard it elsewhere", it almost certainly can be traced back to Henry.
We have corporate knowledge of a hundred or more of these cameras in various formats, and the only ones which consistently seem to have suspicions of fram-spacing woes are those which have come to Henry's attention. Otherwise, the cameras seem to function flawlessly in that regard unless they are in need of a CLA. A properly serviced Super Ikonta should not have any spacing problems.
I had Ken Ruth CLA one of my Super Ikontas and John Van Stelten the other. Both came back without a problem.
