Default repairing a Voigtlander VITO B.

Can anyone please recommend someone who could repair a Voigtlander VITO B. I bought one a little while back but the shutter is sticking and I haven't the nerve to try and repair it myself.

Thank you. Andy B.

You probably know this already, but the shutter will not fire if there is no film in the camera.

Assuming you have checked it either with a film in it, or the other way is to turn the milled wheel in the film path, which the film turns as it is wound on, to cock the shutter,( keep turning this wheel until the film wind lever is locked), if you have done that and the shutter is sticking, then try Newton and Ellis in Liverpool, http://newtonellis.co.ukfor a shutter service which should sort the problem out,

Thank you all for your help. I have checked the shutter with and without film. I will contact Newton and Ellis and let you know how I get on.

Thank you. Andy B
