Lens: Sigma 50-500mm 1:4-6.3 APO DG - non OS version

My favourite lens ever - it lives on my K30

BUT - the mount on my Bigma needs replacing - it's worn out through old age and usage and occasionally loses connection to the camera so no AF or AE

Sigma no longer have spares (and are not interested in Pentax any more anyway).
Does anyone know where I could try to get it fixed ?

Any hints/comments/leads appreciated
Thanks in advance.

hi Father Ted and MattMatic,

Sorry for my lack of noise ...... is there still any interest in following this through ??

Suggestion - because I hate to see wastage, especially cameras

My broken one simply has a non-functioning shutter.
Matt could take casing and flash cover to repair his, creating a serviceable camera - I'm guessing this wouldn't e hard for you as you've rebuilt one before.
The reassembled broken shutter and cracked case can then make it's way to Father Ted for his practice
I'm sure we can come to some amicable arrangement around costs/postage etc etc
If something like this sounds of interest, please let me know - remember I can't PM til mid June - but presume I can receive them.
Look forward to hearing your comments.
