Just a quick FYI-

Steve (a/k/a S.K.) Grimes is a camera tech from the Boston area. He had
a shop of long-standing under his own name until he sold out about three
years ago; so the sk grimes shop has nothing to do with steve anymore (I
must say, if it were me, I'd *never* let someone else do business under
my name, no matter how much money they paid me).

He is known for his custom fabrication of LF parts no longer available
and his hacking of said equipment to expand it's usefulness. Some share
by him, saying that he is marvelously inventive and finds solutions to
problems which would otherwise turn useful equipment into junk. Others
swore at him while his shop was in business, having waited a good while
and paid good money to get their camera fixed only to discover the
camera still had the same problem when they picked it up. This happened
to several people I know in this area...

I just thought I'd pass this along as folks are planning to conduct
business dealings with him...
