My much loved Contax T2 started to break down in its old age (as we all do)-- eating batteries and other disconcerting behavior. Nobody really services these anymore, except one place: Suwa Camera in Nagano, Japan. . Apparently, they have all the remaining spare parts. Not wanting to acquire another doorstop, I filled in the form and sent it off. It took some time, but in general, the communication was good, including a phone call to tell me what was wrong (in detail) and how much it would be. A couple of months later I received it back in full working order. The cost was 33,000 yen ( USD $200, more or less). Unfortunately, I don't think they do international, as they are a little old-fashioned. Web page is http (no s) and they don't accept credit cards or bank transfers - COD only. Still, it's good to see that it's not yet a lost cause. Six months on, it's still going great.
