M2R repair

M2R repair

Hey all!

My beloved M2R is now in Germany at Leica to repair an on-again-off-again light leak (see photo).

Both Don and Youxin have looked at it, and can't seem to track down the issue. Don suggested I use the camera with a case, and Youxin suggested I sell it. I took door #3, send it home.

About how long is the wait? Any guess as to the repair bill?

BTW, I'm amazed that Leica even supports a 55 y/o product. Based on it's serial number, this one was built in August '69. It's been a good shooter, but the leak has gotten worse and needs to be fixed.
