Repairs to MX top plate prism housing
I've managed to dent the front of the prism housing on my trusty old MX (a pretty shabby reward for 25 years of sterling service!). Should I: o Try and find a replacement top plate from a 'parts' MX o See if my local repair shop can straighten things out o Attempt to do it myself (I've got the service manual) o Leave well enough alone - it still appears to work OK. -- John Francis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Silicon Graphics, Inc.

John, Leave well enough alone, at least until you need a CLA or more... Especially if you can't see anything wrong with the viewfinder.

I'd leave it alone for now. If it nudged the pentaprism it's possible that the focus might be a touch off, so run a test roll through it to make sure it's focusing accurately. After that, unless you're planning on selling it, leave it... it's got some character now. :) chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
