So, I gave it to one local serviceman who claims to repair LXs before... He will check it for other defects as well, so let's see!
Edit: The camera repairer replaced the bumpers and cleaned the camera. So only thing left to do is to make some test pics to see if it works allright!

Thanks, alexfoto!
I see it is an "at your own risk" procedure... More so on the LX, because the original bumpers are hidden behind a metal plate:-/ They are also not made from single piece of foam, so it willl be more complicated... Anybody knew if there is something like a proper "foam repair kit"?

Hi!
My "new" film camera, a Pentax LX just arrived. It seems to be in working condition, doesn't suffer from the sticky mirror (yet), but has a different problem - the foam bumpers on the upper side of the mirror chamber are not there! I want to ask you people, if there is any way to replace them myself, and where to get a hold of them? Can I "butcher" them out of any other camera? Or are there any foam "kits" available for the LX? I suppose it is not safe to fire the shutter too many times in this condition...
