Kindermann did the CLA on my M-4P and conversion of some old SLR lens  
from 2 to 3-cam. I also had them look at 2 old (broken) SL bodies to  
see if they can be fixed. Gerry's recommendation was not to fix them  
because the parts alone cost more than the bodies are worth (much as  
he would love to fix them - 2 jammed shutters and 2 new prisms -  
tropical humidity is brutal).

At that time, about 6 years ago, Gerry told me that Leica USA was  
sending them all their old Leica repairs.
