Hey all!
Just wanted to let LX owners know that Jon Goodman now sells a light seal kit (including mirror dampeners) for the LX! I sent my LX in to him for templating and repair, and he did an excellent job. The actual process for switching out the mirror dampeners is, as he puts it, not for the faint of heart but doesn't seem like the worst thing ever either.
The kit comes with self-adhesive foam strips to replace all light sealing and mirror dampener strips as well as wooden tools to strip away the old ones.
Attached to this post you'll find the instructions for the kit so you can determine whether you'd be comfortable doing the switch yourself. If you're interested in purchasing a kit from Jon, you can email him at
JGood21967@aol.com. He also sells kits for many other models, including the ME, ME Super and ME-F. Shipping is very fast, took about a week to get a kit from him last time I ordered one and prices are very reasonable.
And Jon, thanks again! =)
