Fwd: Re: Custom modifications - who does this?

[Lawrence Berman <larry@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The place that Al Satterwhite had his camera modified was probably Marty 
Forscher's "Professional Camera Repair" in New York City. Marty has since 
retired but they still do custom repair work.

37 W. 47th St.
New York, NY  10036
(212) 382-0550

Hope this helps.

Larry
