I have a C2 in reasonably good shape - shutter works , all the pieces save shutter release button are here.Original case, no lens fungus,inside clean,but apeture ring frozen.Grandfathers camera( used to relatively recently) and am hoping that a thorough CLA will set it right. Local shops probably don't have expertise and are not interested in something this old anyway. Can anyone recommend someone who specializes in Argus Bricks - am near Toronto but obviously willing to ship where necessary.

Thanks ,

Rob

Rob, if you don't find any help I have a set of sketches to show you how to do it yourself. As a last resort, I can do it if you don't find a better way.

Try the Argus Collector's Group at

A bit of an eye-opener to anyone from the UK, where even C3s are pretty uncommon!
