Bolsey - Jacques Bolsey was the designer of these & many other cameras. 
There must be someone somewhere who repairs Alpas, though - and yours is a 
very early Alpa.
All the best!

Well, I've used a Bosley Reflex  with non-geometric shutter speeds and a 
Angenieux Alpar 5.0cm f2.9.
I needed a 50mm lens when I was taking a photojournalism course and my 
Spotty's 55mm 1.8 was being repaired so I really had no choice...
I think I paid $15 for it in 1975.  The price was right anyway.

Sadly I just took it out of it's display case to fire the shutter a couple 
of times and it's now jammed, probably
hopelessly, I can't for the life of me think of anyone who could fix the 
damned thing.
