Antique camera repairer needed - compass camera

[strath44]

Hey folks,
I have an old Compass camera by jaeger-lecoultre which is in need of some tlc. These are quite unusual cameras and I would like to have it either repaired and usable or sell it to buy something I can like a leica m series.
The lens is jammed inside the camera and its hard to tell what works, does anyone know anyone who works on these or maybe a forum i could try?
cheers.

There's some guys on this forum that might know where to point you:

photo.net has some decent classic camera forums, if I recall correctly.

The other thing I might suggest is to try a local camera specialist which deals in antique or collectible cameras, or even one which does repairs on film cameras of any sort. They may not be able to fix it, but are likely to know who can. The other option, which may be a longshot but might be worth trying, is to contact Jager-Lecoultre themselves and see if they have any suggestions. They're proud enough of their heritage to post a page on their site about the camera, so perhaps they've kept track of resources relating to it.
