I've posted this before, but it's still relevant.

I highly recommend Ted Baskin. He has worked on my Sputnik a few
times. (I find that after a year or two of use Sputniks fall out of
adjustment.) Most recently he practically built a new camera after I
sent him a smashed Sputnik (it fell onto a concrete hangar floor and
cracked near the left rear corner and broke the left door), and a
junker Sputnik (it had been stripped for parts over the years). He
used parts from these cameras and a pair of Lubitels to build a nicely
working camera.
