Know any good Itek 430 repair/service places in the Boston area??

[Fontaholic]

 :spy2:Hey everyone,

Our Itek 430 Camera Processor is succumbing to age-related issues and I was wondering if anybody out there knows of a reputable place that does Itek repair / service in the Boston, Massachusetts area??

From what little I understand of the problem, the Itek film keeps getting jammed in the various roller units with no consistency to what gets stuck where...

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! 

Cheers,
John the Fontaholic

Thanks for the parts manual -- that's a life-saver right there!  :cheesy:

Your link to the place that was selling a refurbished 430 Itek, was another link to the PDF parts manual... 

And I called the number for the place in Framingham, only to discover that somebody else now has that number and gets calls for that place all the time...  :angry: They didn't know the place's new number, and all the internet searches still list the old number as their current number...

I was in a hurry... trying to juggle a fuck-ton of work, chewing people's asses and keeping up on here. Plus, my old lady is in one of her moods. I hate Mondays. :wink:

Ya, sorry about that.  :embarrassed:

Me too. I told you she wouldn't have anything to do with you, but you HAD to keep pushing that extruded pink ass on her bid'ness. Your wife on the other hand... friendly as can be! :kiss: I don't even have to take off the mask anymore. :laugh:

Good luck, man. Hope you find someone.

Happily, yes -- my boss called another printer that we do work for, and that guy knows someone who used to repair Itek machines for a living.  The repair guy's retired now, but he called back yesterday and said he'd be happy to come in on Wednesday to look things over and make recommendations, etc.

He will probably recommend to stop using a camera and film. :laugh:

[DigitalCrapShoveler]

Those were the days, though. I miss film, but NOT proofs. :smiley:

Man, I burned a mean matchprint.  :grin:

[Joe]

Hand toning a cromalin. :kiss:

[DigitalCrapShoveler]

UGH! Matchprints, Chromalins, One-Pieces, whatever... I made THOUSANDS of them. I hated color-keys more.
