Yes Gr8ful Doug from Cameraland posted a glowing reference only yesterday. You should be able to view it under one of the subgroups or his username. It has the contact numbers as well.

Additionally are there any recent good news regarding Leica USA Service.

There is another post running parallel to this that has the relevant contact details and procedure for repairs and servicing for Leica USA.
I sent you an address via PM. Get back to me if it fails.I must not be finding the correct thread as the Leica email contact I used was bounced back as undeliverable.
What is that thread that you’re referencing titled?
Let us know how it goes.I had a pleasant exchange with their Director of Customer Care (thanks, Pileatus!). My primary concern is collimation (which I assume is relatively trivial to rectify) but I’m not prepared for a large repair bill should any Easter eggs be discovered. They have sentimental value (birth of our first child) so I’ve sent them in and hoping for the best!
Let us know how it goes.
Heard back from Leica customer service. Have been quoted just shy of $300 to collimate, adjust focus, and replace some minor parts (diopter window, hinge bushing, etc). The majority is labor fees and the estimate is well itemized; however, there is an odd $20 charge that’s simply listed as “miscellaneous” (so, no idea what that means).
I’ve followed up to inquire if a simple collimation could be completed at a lower service cost. With a baby on the way, I’ll need to find a less expensive option than the original estimate. I’ve heard Baker Marine does good work for a more reasonable price ($65-100).
