Custom camera modifications

I posted this earlier but I guess it never made it to the forum.

At the time, Al Satterwhite had a New York studio. The place that he would 
have had his camera modified was probably Marty Forscher's "Professional 
Camera Repair". Marty has since retired but they still do custom repair 
work there.

37 W. 47th St.
New York, NY  10036

Hope this helps,

Larry
