OK, here's what I hope is the final update on my broken K-3. Precision Camera received it on Feb 12 , and after a very slight wait for parts, it was repaired and returned to me. It arrived home on March 2, and although I have not had a chance to do much more than try it out, it appears to be operating just fine. I think 3 weeks is a reasonable amount of time. The repair ticket says they replaced the Flash Circuit, the Main Circuit, and the AF Drive Block. They did an auto focus test, check, recalibration and realignment, firmware download and a complete cleaning internal and external.
The manufacture date changed to Feb 23 2016 , and the shutter count now is 151.
Anyway , at this point I am satisfied with the repair , unless of course I run into other problems in the future.
I have no complaints regarding Precision Camera's service.
