A friend has a Pentax MX that has a damaged focusing screen from an attempted cleaning. Does anyone know of someone who would have spare parts and the ability to repair this camera?

The focusing screen on the MX is interchangeable. There is a small catch in the front of the screen that will let you lower the frame that holds the screen. You may have to hunt around a bit to find an MX screen.

Thanks for that information. I looked on evil bay and there were two listed..... but one seller wanted $20 USD for postage (perhaps it's delivered by bonded courier!). I'll pass the info along to my friend and he can keep an eye out for one a little more reasonably priced.

If you google it there is an MX manual on line that describes how to change the screen. I liked my MX bodies, I was very put off by an LX that left me high and dry on a trip to England. I don't think you could get me to buy another Pentax SLR. This was of course after it had been repaired by Pentax for a large price.
