If you want to have your old Nikkorex fixed, you are out of luck. However, if you have a model I, S, S2, SP, S3, S4, F, F2 that requires service, they will overhaul them, to the extent possible. Nikon recently remanufacturered the rangefinder prisms for S3, as I heard from reliable sources. Nikon charges about $500, but apparently loses $500 for every S3 serviced. N. B.
