Pentax MX seal and foam replacement

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced company/person offering replacement of seals and foams on Pentax MX bodies? I've thinned my collection down to a couple - both are in good working condition in all aspects except that the seals and foams need replacing. I'm not particularly good with intricate stuff so wouldn't attempt it myself and I don't want to pay for a full CLA/Service.

thanks in advance

I can recommend https://www.kameradoktor.de/Lichtdichtungen-Light-Seals-Kameradichtungen-und-Spiegeldaempfer/

It's actually not that difficult once you get into it, especially for the body-to-door channel foams.
I would offer to do it, gratis, but I think I've misplaced the foams I have (read, had) here.
I've found that with cleaning out the old foams (lots of toothpicks and isopropanol) and installing the new foams takes probably less than an hour.

I forgot to mention, if you wanted to buy the foam and send it across, I'd still be happy to do it
I've bought from here before and it's been excellent quality...

That's very kind Ben - but I think I'll probably put them on Eeeekbay as they are (with a full and honest description) as in this condition they often sell for a reasonable price. It would be unfair for you to put the effort in for me then to sell them on

Not at all! As you well know I’d be partial to a Black MX… so that’s worth noting here

I'll send you a PM when I get a min
