John,

I just sent my M6 with stuck frames to DAG.  He is going to replace the 
M6 finder with the MP finder, take out the 75 and 135 frame lines, ones 
I never use, and fix the sticky frames all for a great price.

Don does excellent work, he has worked on this M6 once when the finder 
got knocked out of adjustment, and on my Noctilux, my 28.  All came back 
as good as new.  Fed-Ex just delivered my M6 to him today...I can't wait 
to get it back. :)

As far as your situation I'd send it back to KEH and let them fix it.  
They will probably do it at no charge to you, or I think they should.
