He responded on eBay within a day or two of my purchase (paying the diagnostic fee) to tell me how to ship it to him. Then, he must have looked at my F3 within a day or two after receiving it. He called me to discuss things. I mentioned some evidence of shutter capping, based on three or so...

This probably won't help for an F or F2, but note that ICT does have a store on eBay. However the offerings there are limited to a few specific cameras and lens types. I got in Jim's queue by buying the "repair service" (really just an estimate) for a CLA on a beautiful F3HP I brought back from...
