Bill, I've dealt with a great camera repairman who recently fixed a K2DMD for me.
Write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Eric is the sole proprietor and was a Pentax repairman in Chicago at one time. I met him here before he retired to Tenn. a few years ago. I've sent him everything from old screwmount (K, Spotmatic, ElectroSpotmatic, ES, and ESII - meters working and meters broken) to newer K2, KX, ME, MX, ME Super, and the K2DMD. Pricing is reasonable.
