As I'm currently studying engineering due to a passion for taking
things apart, repairing them and making them more efficient if
possible, I wonder:

Who is the future of mechanical camera repair?

There are no more schools that teach this and I can only take so many
cameras I own apart before I hit a "repertoire wall" and stop learning
about it.  I don't think there is a single school which provides these
skills these days.  It's literally a dying art and I want to know what
the future holds for cameras like my M4, Kyle's Nikon F2 and all of
your mechanical jewels which you use to still make photos.  I want to
keep them working.
