Subject: [Leica] query re: unrepairable Leica Ms (R..)

I was a bit disconcerted to learn that some repair parts are not available
for some Leica M series cameras (at least from Leica, presumably from
donor bodies or old parts stock?). Is there a listing of which parts are
unavailable, and what kinds of repairs are involved? Is this a non-problem
due to repairer stocks of parts, or is it a problem likely to compromise
repairability of the Leica M (M2..) in the forseeable future? After having
spent 6+ months/3 repair shops getting an Ebay "excellent"  Nikon FE
repaired due to dead FRE shutter electronics (not available from Nikon), I
am a bit concerned to end up with a Leica/Leicaflex/R body I can't get fixed?
Thanks for your insights! regards bobm
