[Leica] Leica M9 CCD problem

[Frank Filippone]

I got my Momochrom repair evaluation today...... 


Necessary labours 3.000 H
**THERE IS A PART MISSING FOR THIS REPAIR;
IT WILL DELAY THE COMPLETION FOR A
COUPLE OF WEEKS.
WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.**
Error description
Sensor cover glass, coating is seperatin
adjust range finder
clean, lubrication and adjustment
leather covering 1 PCS
printed circuit, adjusted 1 PCS

I am afraid to ask how long it will take......
Note that there was no offer of upgrade to a CMOS model......  ( not that I
am interested in dropping a few thou on another Leica body.....)
