I just spoke with Jürgen to thank him, and he said no problem to mention prices.
Here's the estimate I received: Hi Thor, here is my Estimate for the 2.8D # 1614xxx repair Shutter and film transport U.S.$ 160.00remove all bumps ( Leather covering ) and clean exterior of Camera, install new mirror in viewfinder and camera body if you desire ( check prices for the orig. mirrors ) 50.00 repair EVS locking, broken special spring ( complete gear assy. ) I have a few left, the repair is included in the 50.00 above, however the part price is 20.00
Mirror for viewfinder 25.00 Mirror for Camera body installing N/C 30.00 Maxwell screen Hi Lux plain with grid lines 140.00 shipping 40.00 Total 465.00Both Mirrors are O.K. however it would improve the brightness of the Maxwell screen, but I leave that up to you.
From what he said, the camera I got from eBay is very clean and completely original, mostly gummed up grease and lubricants inside, no previous tinkering or missing pieces. It looks like new now.
So I did the whole hog, which ended up costing quite a bit. But I don't think the prices are bad at all, esp if all one needs is a CLA of shutter + film transport.

Can you also reveal the price for the repair/overhaul? Maybe I should consider trying someone else than Paepke next time a camera needs some attention. Congrats with your reborn gem of a camera!

No more Zeiss bumps, much brighter screen (Maxwell), new mirrors for viewer and sports finder, working EVS system (it is a bit hard to turn, but that may be due to design) and it looks like he polished/cleaned the body. Full transport and shutter overhaul as well. It cost me almost as much as the camera, but I think it was worth it, the camera should be good for another 20 years. It's older than I am! I can recommend Jürgen based on this very positive experience. Looking forward to getting out and shooting a few rolls with it.
