PCR (previously owned by Marty Forsch) charges $225 for a IIIf overhaul. And yes they do a good job, I just had one done. It included more work than just lubing and adjustment. I have the impression that they make parts if they have to. Don't know about the lenses, I tend to leave them alone unless the problem is unbearable. But I'll check next time I'm there, which will be soon because my IIIg needs a cleaning also.
