Infinite wind repair

Repair cost = £70

The Pentax ME Super can develop a common fault often referred to as 'infinite winding'. This is where you can advance the film but it won't cock the shutter. It is caused by a mirror box washer degrading and becoming sticky. To repair this issue the mirror box needs to be removed and the washer replaced. 

Sluggish Shutter 

Repair cost = £110

Debris can make its way onto the shutter blades causing them to move slowly or even get stuck. In order to repair this the shutter unit needs to be removed, disassembled and thoroughly cleaned. If the shutter has been damaged beyond repair a new shutter unit can be fitted. The repair cost includes a mirror box service, replacement of the mirror box washers and all the light seals being replaced. 

Film counter repair

£40

Another common issue with many Pentax ME Supers is the film counter can stop working if the camera has been dropped or incorrect reassembled by someone. Typically no replacement parts are needed, the mechanism just needs adjusting as it has been knocked out of place. 

Fitting replacement light seals

If you would like the light seals replaced on your Pentax ME Super this will cost £25. However, if your camera is already in for a repair the cost will be lower.
