Where to get OConnor 1030 fixed in NY?

[Daniel Grosseman]

Hi,

I recently got an old(grey) O'Connor 1030 head. The head its great but when the counterbalance spring is a little tensioned and when I tilt the head I can feel a little bump, life if there was a small grain of dust inside the tilt mechanism. I am in Brazil but am going to NY in one week for 10 days. Any idea of a place that could, possibly, quickly fix my head?

thanks,

Daniel

+ 1 I am also looking to repair a oconnor 1030 in NY. I am located in Montreal but I am going to NY soon. My 1030 has some fluid leaks and the counterbalance is always ON.

Depending on the issue, try calling Steve from Du-All Camera. They're a rental and repair house in NYC.

The number is 212-643-1042

Ask for Steve (owner) and tell him Savva referred you. Best of luck.

Guys, just call O'Connor at 818-847-8666. They actually have a repair facility in NY that they work closely with, and I have worked with them as well. I don't have their phone number but O'Connor should point you in the right direction.
