Thanks Jim,

I didn't realize that there were several places that repair Rolleis. 

When I had my camera CLA'd I went through a local dealer. I lived in
Portland, Ore. at the time.  I don't know where the dealer sent it. I
just remember it being quite expensive. Probably wasn't wise to go
through the dealer, who I'm sure took additional markup.

Hi David:

My 2.8F 12/24 is one of the later models, a Whiteface... so it came with

  a very bright Rollei made screen which is very similar to the also 
very bright screen in my 6008s.  All are very easy to focus, and none of

them would benefit by having a Maxwell screen.

The screen in my Rolleicord Vb is darker, but not nearly as dark as 
those in the older 'cords.

I've had some of my Rollei TLRs repaired by Krikor:

He did great work for me.

I've never used Fleenor, but am given to understand that he also odes 
great work.

Jim
