Repairing old cameras

[petetherock]

Dear friends
I recently acquired a Nikon FA, and I would like to get it fixed.
It will add to my other old cameras and it's the only one missing from my collection.
The shutter is in lock up and I can't wind it.
No LED display either.

I sent it to Nikon, but they say it's too old so they can't help.

Any ideas or does anyone know someone who can fix it? Is the camera hospital still in business for example?

Thank you

The issue is very similar to what was described here:

If the problem requires parts, you can try to send it to Japan to be fixed.

Now to find some place which sells film

The section for film Before Digital, Beyond 35mm has some listing.
Off the head (and open today): Triple-D (Burlington, next to Sim Lim Sq), Konota (Peninsula Plaza).
If it's just a cheap roll for testing, many neighborhood shops still have a few.
