i highly recommend the guy.  :o :o :o

he doesn't charge much. as far as I recall, he won't do manual focus lenses anymore but he is very handy with the newer electronics stuff. sourcing parts is another issue.

Amazing!  A fantastic match of curiosity and the "mottainai" concept.  Thanks for sharing!

would be nice if he can post here but i think he is too busy for that.  :o :o :o

he has plenty of teardowns on his FB page and on the Singaporean photography site ClubSnap.

Rick tutors me remotely, and David tutors me at the "void deck" at his apartment block.  My good friend and he indeed is very humble and charges very little for his work.  I think he can double his charge and still be significantly cheaper than branded service fellows.
