Ok, just received my 560 from Precision. It works perfectly!
Note that it had to be sent to Japan for repair which they describe as:
A complete repair and return all functions to factory spec.
They also did a auto focus test, check, and recalibration and realignment.
and a General test, check, and repair all functions and systems.

Did know this long tube of a lens had all that stuff in it but, I'm a happy (albeit poorer) camper now.
Just for the record, this took 3 months. They said it's 5-6 weeks if they have to send it to Japan.
