And the stampede begins. oops
I'm sure this also has come up before but which cameras do you expect to go out of commission because they require specific parts that aren't reproduced and wear or break with some regularity? This is actually one of the reasons for my brown K1000 SE quest (got a line on a CLA'd mint one for $100 btw), I wanted something as crazy simple with minimum number of parts as possible to use my K lenses on. Plus there are about 10 million K1000's to get parts from.
I hadn't realized Eric had a parts advantage too, I just thought he made foam bumpers and light seals out of some bulk stock and then used his equipment and know how to CLA them.
EDIT: this would definitely be a worthy side job for someone in my opinion even if they can't do it full time. I wonder how many cameras he fixes. Even if its only one CLA per day that would be a tiny sum at the end of the year even after properly reporting it and paying taxes since its basically zero overhead cost.
And remind him to put in his will that all his parts and equipment get turned over to Adam or somebody for disposition to the appropriate parties. I would hate to see it end up in the trash.
