The Nikon N2020 and non-AF N2000 were both nifty cameras (no DOF preview, alas, but wonderful, otherwise). The closest current to
these are the N6006 and N6000 (hurry, they are just going out of
production, though maybe the N70 is an adequate replacement). As
far as your 2020 is concerned, why not keep it? The rewind crank
parts are cheap (1-800-NIKONUS for phone, address of Nikon Parts)
and easy to install, and, unless the camera is non-functional, I
would NEVER get a "clean-and-lube" - it is a waste of money, and
may sometimes be better called a camera "mark-and-misadjust"....
Hope this helps.
