Hi, Brenda.  There are still a few Kodak Stereo repairmen out there.  I
have dealt with two, Charlie Piper and Don Fraina.  Charlie has quite a
reputation as an expert on all types of stereo cameras, and his fees tend
to be a bit on the high side, reflecting this reputation.  I was not
satisfied with the work he did on my Kodak (didn't fix the problem in two
visits - two strikes; you're out.  I fixed it myself.)  He may have more
experience/skill with other camera makes.  

Don Fraina is a Kodak-trained "Factory Repairman" with over thirty years
experience working with Kodaks, from Instamatics to Retinas to Stereos.  He
is friendly as well as knowledgable, reasonably-priced and pretty quick.
I've only had him work on one of my Kodaks but am satisfied with that one.
Have also dropped off a half-dozen other peoples' cameras (Stereos and
Retina) for work over the 4 or 5 years I've known him.  His ad should be in
the NSA '97 program, but if you don't have access to one: 

Don's Camera Repair, 54 Meadow Drive, Spencerport, NY 14559   Phone (716)
352-0054

Let me know how you make out.
