Thornton Pickard shutter restoration

Anything to sell (WTS) or looking for anything specific (WTB)? Anything advertised on this forum comes with the usual "buyer beware" advice; it is up to the purchaser to assure themselves of the integrity of the supplier and item being sold. It is also the responsibility of the seller to ensure that payment is forthcoming before parting with said item.

Thornton Pickard shutter restoration

Post by IanG » Tue Feb 22, 2011 9:33 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

I'm offering a restoration service for Thornton Pickard shutters, primarily the Time & Instant as well as the Snap Shot, all variants from the late 1880's until production/sales ceased in the late 1950's. The larger focal plane shutters (rarer anyway) are

Restoration includes a new shutter cloth, cord, case refurbishment & re-polish (French polish not modern spray lacquers), new front & back panels where needed (stained & polished to match), adapting to take a modern cable release if requested, in addition a set of instructions for using the shutter. A new scale can be fitted to the speed indicator if needed as well as a new name plate (modern replica).
