[Leica] HELP!!!! - M3 disaster! Advice sought

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

There is a person called Malcom Taylor that some of the Leica users in
London used to swear by, and our own Luis Ripoll has also mentioned using
his services a few times. I tried googling for him and found this, maybe
you could ring him up:

https://www.getdpi.com/forum/leica/17082-recommended-malcolm-taylor.html

I have no personal experience with him. Lluis would be the person to
contact in the LUG that I know of.

Cheers
Jayanand
