Any idea how much a service like that actually costs? Say I had an old camera, how much would reversed engineering the CCD drive circuit cost?

What’s your expectation from CCD drive circuit? Understand enough and repair it? Make a similar device? Make a micrometer exact clone?

In that case with old crap we used X-ray pcb inspection machine. Made enough pictures to recreate all the copper traces on paper. Was enough to understand how it works and repair.
