Fred, I asked this same question of the list a while back. Several people remarked that due to the list�s complaints that Colorado has gotten their act together. As for things to ask, I just boxed up my LX to put in the mail to Colorado, haven�t mailed it yet. It is my oldest (to me) and most beat up, bought as demo model back when I couldn�t afford a new one, I should have held out for a new one. I am asking them to do a CLA/Rebuild to bring the camera up to spec and asking them if they can do some cosmetic repairs like replace the top and base plates and DOF Preview button. I even asked if I could get the hollow shutter lock. If they do everything I ask it will be like a new camera. That is if I don�t suffer from sticker shock when I get the estimate.
I didn�t ask for the new mirror box or new shutter, but now I wonder if I should. Good thing I haven�t sent it yet. Thanks Fred. Pentax Colorado�s address, from there website is: Pentax Corporation Attention: Service 35 Inverness Drive East Englewood CO 80112 Geoff > OK, it's finally time to get a couple of the older LX's repaired. > Both now suffer from sticky mirror syndrome (although both had > worked well for a long time before taking ill), so they obviously > need a CLA, as a minimum.
