My Dad has given me a his Contax 139.
The camera shutter jams intermittently and I wondered if any members knew someone who could refurbish/fix the camera.
I have put in new batteries so this is not the problem.
I live In Essex and can go to London so I would be grateful if anyone could recommend someone who could get it back to working order.
Cheers

Open the back and hit the shutter with some Ballistol to loosen it up.
Should work fine after that.
Ballistol is a German product invented during WWI and still used today for emergency treatment of burns or cleaning of wounds and in camera and gun shops/clubs all over Central Europe.
It is the national drink of Slovakia. Also available in non alcoholic versions

Can confirm, Ballistol is the absolute shit. It does smell like, well I can't really describe it but I think it's disgusting.

I think it smells coniferous.
My mechanic thought it was some type of eco-Diesel. (I use it regularly as starting fluid on old engines)
