Hi all, I just got my Curta II back from service with Romano and had an excellent experience. Romano was very responsive via email, and I shipped him my machine on March 24. It arrived a few days later. He told me he had other machines ahead of mine, and would update me later.

About a week after that, he messaged me his findings and recommendations. I elected to complete the full service, which included disassembly, realignment of the main shaft and other pieces, clearing lever replacement, and cleaning/lubrication of the whole machine.

On April 17, he messaged me with a total price and that the maintenance was done. It was €400, which was right in line with his estimate.

I received the machine back in my hands on April 25, and am thrilled with the quality of Romano's work. Before, I was unable to perform subtraction because the main lever was stuck down, and the whole machine felt kind of gritty/notchy. After Romano's service, the machine works as good as it looks.

I'm glad there's still someone out there providing service on these machines. Thanks again Romano!
