Very many thanks. That's tremendously reassuring to have in mind in case mine ever fails.

So there was a joint effort by many many repair services to pretend there was no fix for dead M6 classic circuit board for many years? That really is great to hear!

I hope the similar conspiracy can be put on hold for M6 TTL for a while so people can get their TTLs fixed... A spay of WD-40 on the ISO dial and... voila!

I'm not being sarcastic. With this secret now out I might be able to sell my OEM circuit board and get some money back (99.99% chance it's in perfect condition if I'm reading the last posts correctly, right)? Any takers? 50% off if purchased in the next 24h!

I am so glad that my IF, IIF, M3, & M4P do NOT have light meters in them! They are very robust and all can still be serviced.

I use a Sekonic L508 & the tiny Voigtlander shoe mount meters.

Don’t compute. Your M4P is just like an M6 and can be serviced just the same.
We are just talking about the meter here.
Can your meters be serviced when they are 40 years old?

Well, M6 bodies can still be serviced, just not the original meter boards.

But I'm with you. I prefer any Leica up to- and including the M5 to anything after.
