John,
Would your standard overhaul price cover this type of repair? If not, could 
you possibly give a rough estimate of what this repair might cost? I need to 
determine if I can afford this repair, or if I should send you my OM-1 for 
overhaul first, and save my pennies for this repair.

Thanks,
Darin
