I have just bought a Rolleiflex T and on initial findings things look good.

I'm thinking of getting it CLA, anyone recommend anyone to send it to in UK?

Now I just need to decide if I'm keeping my rolleiflex over my Yashica 124g, what's your opinion?
 
Brian Mickleboro I believe is the guy to go to in the UK, I've not used him myself but a lot on here have,.
 
The only person you should send it to is Brian Mickleboro. He is thorough, excellent value for money (compared to the frankly absurd amounts that some of the repairmen in the US charge), and probably the most qualified person in the UK for looking after Rolleiflex cameras.

I've had two Rollei's overhauled by him, and his work speaks for itself.

Some information on how to get in touch with him here: https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/brian-mickleboro.556955/

EDIT: I've had a look around and it seems his new details are nowhere to be found (his old address was 6 Fairway, Bishop's Stortford, which is the one you'll find online). I think I have his current address/phone on file, but I need to corroborate it with someone else... if anyone knows, please drop me a PM - his new house number is 37?

This would likely just come down to personal preference and possibly condition.

In my experience, the Tessar-equipped Rolleiflexes can be much smoother in operation and nicer to handle than other TLRs, if they've been well maintained, but they don't necessarily take better photographs.
 
I was going to send my Automat to Brian as well. I have a mirror and new viewfinder to put in it. Still haven't managed to actually do it! My yashica is like farm machinery compared to the automat. Viewfinder is brighter in the yashica but the rest of it feel clanky and awkward in comparison.
 
@trevorbray would you mind sending me the details too? I have a Rolleiflex Automat 6x6 that's been in storage for over 30 years and would like to get it back into shooting condition.
