I sent him a black painted Leica II with a Nickel 50/2.5 Hektor and 
gave him carte blanc to CLA including re stitching the leather case 
( all these arranged prior to sending him the rig )

After one year, many telephone calls it came back almost in the state it
was sent ( but with a sizeable dent to my bank account )

Reputations are fleeting and whimsical - fortunately there are many other
restoration experts out there

I have never had any contact with Malcolm Taylor 
but he has a really epic reputation, and a 
reputation for always resolving all disputes 
equitably.  Thanks for sharing a most different experience.
