Received my upgraded K-1 today, a day earlier than expected for a turn around ín less than a week. Four business days to be exact. According to the explanation of repairs that came back with my camera: “ autofocus test, check, recalibration and realignment; clean (internal-external) and optical system; general test, check, clean and repair all functions and systems”. The firmware was at 1.02.
The description of parts used: “main circuit board; replaced SR logo with II logo; certification seal”.
Went through settings to make identical to my K-1 MII. Will see about testing this weekend.

My order was placed in June, 2018 and instruction was not to send in until contacted to send. I did receive the initial email confirming my order with a pdf attached with instructions with about proof of purchase and how to send. I periodically called and corresponded via email since with update on expected parts availability. On 1/4/19, I received an email that they received parts and to send in my camera. You can also refer to my previous post to this thread.

I just checked to see if there was a change in the status of my upgrade. Sure enough, the status is now "Shipped Confirmed". I checked my UPS account and see the tracking information for delivery this Wednesday afternoon, 1/16/19. This is quicker than I thought. If it test okay after I get it back, I will be very impressed.

I received an email on Friday, 1/11/19 that my K-1 was received that morning. They called me as I had instructed to get a new credit card number than the one provided when I submitted my upgrade request last June. I see the status is "out for repair" which obviously means my camera is in the queue for the upgrade.

Well, I finally received word on 1/4/19 to ship my K-1 in for the upgrade. Shipped it on 1/9/19 for delivery on 1/11/19 morning delivery which later today. I put in my request back last June, 2018. Here is the email:
Hello Aaron,
We got our first allocation in last month and have a few extra kits available. We also have another shipment on the way to us that should arrive by the end of this month.
Please coordinate with Sheila Banes, cc’d in this message to have your unit sent in for the upgrade.
Thanks,
Dave

I called Precision on 9/20 to ask about an upgrade request I submitted on 7/15, but have been waiting to get contacted to send in my camera since the summer. I was told to wait for parts to be available again in the next few days. Still waiting. Got all the necessary papers and a box with packing material ready to go.
