What is the best place in Portland, Oregon, to get a CLA on used cameras?

I see that there are actually several places that are good and was just wondering about personal experiences any of you might have had. Most of these are older model cameras with little or no electronics, but some of them have some electronics such as built-in light meters. Thanks!

I've been using pro-level cameras for 44 years. I am not interested in buying a used SLR (unless its something incredible like a Nikon F6). I am interested in getting some of the many cameras that I already own serviced. So far the second answer is a lot better than the first.

If you don't know what a CLA is then you shouldn't be answering this question. A "C.L.A." is a Clean, Lubricate, and Adjustment of the camera.

I must disagree with the comments made by the previous poster. SLR cameras are complicated things. They are simple in concept but the amount of engineering that has to go into them is incredible. Even the simplest of 35mm SLR cameras like the Pentax K1000 can have plenty of things wrong with it (eg: meter off, speeds off, dry clutch, frame spacing issues, etc).

What is a CLA? Used SLR cameras have very little that can go wrong, with the exception of the 1999 X-factor extra super sex machine rebel mega things that came out, only to be surpassed by digital a year later.

90% of the cameras you'll find have 3 features, ISO, aperture and shutter speed. If the dials turn, they work. I can't answer your question until you explain what you mean by CLA.
