You could always get another FA-1. I've seen several advertised on eBay
recently. Another LX advantage.

I'm actually not too worried, for a couple of reasons. First, I think
that the problem is a minor mechanical one, maybe even one that
doesn't need parts. Second, if they can't fix it, I have a camera
that works fine, except for the flash (although, as I said, ttl flash
metering is one of the things I like most about it), so I still have a
pretty good camera. Third, Kominek's here in Toronto has a former
Pentax Canada tech who works for them, and he (as Dave recalls)
repaired a Pentax zoom for Dave that Pentax Canada said was beyond
repair.
Wait, that's ~three~ reasons....
