That seems mighty expensive.
I have a Pentax ME Super which has sentimental value, payed £125 to get it repaired - top plate replaced, mirror lock up sorted, light seals replaced, CLA'ed etc

They did eventually tell me the circuit board has gone, so will need repairing and most likely replacing. The parts are getting rare as gold rocking hens dust, so not surprising it’s costing a bomb. I decided it’s bound to break beyond repair eventually, and will only get increasingly expensive to fix, so get it done now.

Getting a bit annoyed with Sendean, they've quoted £375 to repair my OM4, which is massive but apparently includes "repairing or replacing parts". But they won't tell me if any parts need actually need replacing, and the price stays the same regardless.
I've been quoted £135 somewhere else to do the same work, but that price would go up if any parts needed replacing.
I don't mind spending the money if parts do need replacing, but I'm loathed to pay it on the off-chance they might...
