Of course it doesn't actually take 4 weeks to repair a camera.  If I
start a repair on a certain day, it ships next UPS pickup.  When a 
repair is approved, it just goes to the end of the line,
usually with 20-25 older repairs to do first.

A recent customer bought a BGN M-1 from KEH.  Meter off 10 stops (REALLY
  messed up), no slit at high shutter speeds, bad prism, bad eyepiece
glass.  Yikes, and he paid $300 for it.  He wasn't interested in 
returning it to the dealer. Outer appearence was quite good,
enough for him to want to invest another $200 into it.
