Chinon CE Memotron Service - Anyone know somewhere?

I've got to send my Chinon CE Memotron in for service. The shutter has started to stick open, and the meter is only swinging halfway. It's got a new battery in it, and it is an intermittent problem. The viewfinder is also very dirty, although I just fitted a new mirror bumper and door seals.

I know it'll be fairly costly, and that I could buy another camera (I already have another CE II Memotron coming) but I have a big collection of M42 mount lenses that I like, and the metering until very recently has been spot on with the Memotron.

Until I get this one serviced, I'll be using my Ricoh TLS, but buying new PX625A battery replacements as often as it takes to keep that meter working would add up to the cost of a CLA in a hurry.

Currently, only Chicago Camera Service has replied, and their only reply was "well we offer free estimates". I've also emailed Zack's Camera, but have had no reply yet. Anyone else out there?

I would suggest buying one of the two easy to use adapter solutions instead.
Either the more expensive but longer lasting ones that use smaller silver oxide batteries and a voltage converting adapter, or the less expensive but requiring more frequent battery replacement (with zinc air hearing aid batteries) adapter.
