You're welcome! I just had it CLAed last year at Leica NJ for almost 
as much as I sold it to you for. The CLA really made a difference -- 
it gave the wind lever the "leica feel."  If I wasn't seriously 
downsizing in preparation for a summer of moving around the country, 
it'd still be in my pocket. :-)

Use it in good health!
