Perhaps the wait is worth it for a Contax II as Henry does specialize in
these cameras and the shutters. I do know that you can give Henry $50.00 to
hold your place in line and he'll tell you when its time to send the camera.
This way you can use the camera till its number comes up for overhaul. If
it were me I'd use the camera and send him fifty dollars as a form of
insurance.

Thank you very much Daniel and Thor, the camera looks very robust and
comfortable to use it; I could see Henry Scherer is the only technician in
the web assuring spare parts for this model; I had a conversation with
Walter Ruedt, the former Rolleiflex official technical service chief in
Argentina and he does not want to repair these cameras due to the lack of
spare parts, "if I break a curtain repairing the shutter, what could I do ?"
and then perhaps this Contax could be the second camera I send to the States
to repair.-
