Okay, let's try again. I had asked: > As I was playing with my new MX toys I noticed the back of one > of my MX bodies is not securing tightly.

It would seem that the place in Colorado is the Pentax USA repair center, and there were two other places that seemed well recommended, Dean's Camera Repair in Torrance, CA and Mike's Camera Repair in Buford GA. But the recommendations were from way back in 2000! :-)
Can anyone confirm the recommendations for these repair places? Any comments or opinions about them? Have any of you used them? Would you recommend somewhere else? Who would you send it to? Can I get a response here!?! Thanks for listening! - THaller P.S. Alan, thanks for the suggestion to use the velvet film cartridge lips and repair this myself, but I'd prefer to pay a pro to fix this, and the camera's due for a CLA anyway...
