I just got my M6 back this week after a repair by Sherry Krauter of Golden
Touch.
CLA, replaced shutter curtain due to burn hole (got to keep that lens cap
on!),
ans replaced outside covering. $326 USD. Excellent service and price!
Plus she threw  in a replacement battery cover as the original showed a
great deal of wear.
This M6 should be good for another 15 years+.
If I can keep the lens cap on
in this Texas sun!

By the way, I did meet her here at the Houston Camera Show and she seems
to really appreciate the good words here in the LUG.
