[rollei_list] Re: My 2.8C won't focus closer than 7 feet.

Hey, Sanders;
I agree with Elias; there may be a bit of exterior junk that has found its way inside, or something may have come loose and is blocking the mechanism. Either way, I wouldn't try to fix it myself. What you might try would be to gently work the focusing knob while holding the camera at different angles. This might tell you whether you have something loose inside the housing. (You don't hear anything rattling, do you?) 

Cheers,
Tom

Sounds like a job for Krikor (http://www.krimarphoto.com/) not too far from you in NJ. 
Hopefully it's as simple as some bit of debris stuck in the housing.

will not move past the 7-foot mark, and the
front standard will not extend fully.

I've not dropped the camera.  Does anyone
have any idea as to what has happened, or
whether (and how) it can be fixed?
