J.C., Here is a link to my posting regarding the CLA of my LX: http://www.mail-archive.com/pentax-discuss@pdml.net/msg86048.html
I would first recommend purchasing a late model LX (530XXXX SN or later) that does not appear heavily used (cosmetics). For a CLA, I recommend Pentax Colorado, but make certain you include a very detailed letter explaining any specific problems, i.e., sticky mirror, mirror misalignment, etc.,... The CLA should cost approximately $150 ~ $175 (shipping included) and it takes about one (1) month. They should have all parts necessary for a full CLA/repair until at least 2006 or later (10 years after end of production??). Regards, Jose R. Rodriguez > > From: "J. C.
