You might start with: http://www.lpfoto.se/swe/butiken/reparationer.asp Somewhere in Stockholm there is a man who used to be Leica's official repairman. He's not anymore, but that's because Leica pulled out the plug in Sweden. They're not here anymore. Check out the yellow pages and call around. There's not that many. I think his name was Bj?rn Something. If I were you I'd send it to Solms. BUT ... be careful. Don't let them do more than you want them to do. In my case they pulled out a perfectly good rangefinder from an M3 and replaced it with a really crappy (modern) one. Another thing to watch with Solms is not their fault. The postal services don't really get along with each other any more so the service from Germany doesn't appear to use the normal channels for packages and it doesn't get delivered by the Swedish postal service. In my case they just placed it on the porch by the front door. Depending on your neighborhood, that could make you nervous. Solms' turnaround is very fast in my experience and except for the misunderstanding about the rangefinder, they're really good. Daniel
