I consider the gooey foam in the mirror box and the light trapping around the back door an essential replacement on all K and M series cameras, older 6X7's, and ageing LX's. I have had this done on my six Pentax cameras (K1000, KX, MX, 2 X LX, 6X7 along with a CLA and I see no reason why they won't be good for another 20 - 30 years. Harrow Technical (www.harrowtechnical.co.uk) did this work with care and precision for a reasonable fee. If you plan on keeping and using your Pentax, the cost is insignificant compared to the benefit of using the quality precision tools that the older Pentaxes are, operating to original spec. The cost of buying a current device manufactured to the same specification, using the same materials would be prohibitive. Get a full CLA and you still have a bargain.
