I have a friend who has an old Nikon F4 that has a broken shutter curtain and he wants to get it repaired. I am in Southern California, what are the options?

Probably cost you more to fix than buy.

I thought of APS in Morton Grove, IL but the shipping might get outrageous. I keep hearing horror stories about the 405. The Dan Ryan in Chicago drives me nutser enough.

I used Authorized Photo Service in Morton Grove, IL to have an F5 repaired in 2020. They were quick and easy to work with, so they're who I'd try first.

Deans Camera Repair in Torrance was a Nikon factory tech. I’ve used him lots of times.

But as someone else already mentioned, it would be cheaper buying another F4 and use the one you have for parts.

The only film camera they will touch is the F6.

My vote is to just buy another used body, lots of F4'S at KEH and other places. Finding parts for a 35
year old camera can be iffy and repair costly. Only hard part if finding a body that is not beat too hell.
Good luck.
