DAG phone number not working- email not responding

Being able to work on a camera and getting the necessary parts to repair them are two different problems. Leica turned off the flow of parts to independent shops. SO- the youngest repair person I know stopped working on them.

Another bargain- LTM Nikkor 5cm F1.4. $150. Not quite as cheap as the one I bought from Midwest Camera Exchange for $95. But that was over 20 years ago.

I have a replacement name/filter ring. That's the trick- knowing how to fix something AND having the necessary parts.

He has had three Minoxes of mine (LX, B, and 35ML) since February 2022. He used to answer very occasional (as in annual) emails promptly and has now stopped answering emails (three since last month, after he has had my cameras for three and a half years).

In February of 2024, he said he had obtained needed parts for the LX. He has now had the parts for at least a year and a half. In February of this year, he said the B and ML were finished, and he just needed to do the LX (after three years, at this point). It is now another seven months later. It is clear that he has completed and returned numerous repairs in the years that he has had my cameras; and that he prioritizes certain repairs instead of doing them in queue, without any disclosure to his customers that he does so.

I have been continually checking online forums to see if there is any news about him that would explain this situation. At this point, I just want to get my cameras back. Obviously, I am long past the point of never sending him anything again. I have been entirely patient up until now, but clearly the situation is grossly unacceptable. If I do not hear from him very soon, I need to find out what my legal options and avenues of complaint are.

It took him about 2.5 yrs to service my Minox Riga, from January 2021 to summer of 2023. Some patience required. He told me that he had to do all the repairs for Leica USA and that it was a lot.

I recall reading somewhere that Aaron himself is either in his 50s or 60s. ...

No way! Don has at least four kids and Aaron is one of the youngest. Don is 70 - and Aaron is 20-something.

I've heard of a young person named Jadon or Jason. Not sure any other details....but supposedly he is young and good at Leica repair. Maybe someone here knows more?

Jadon is an excellent technician, Leica and others. AFIK he no longer does camera repair. You can check: Red Dot Repair. (Red Dot Repair - Leica/Hasselblad Technicians) He's a great guy and knows his stuff. He did some lens tuning for me, in minutes. The people in the shop he left had another lens for six months, charged me and did nothing. They sure showed me.

I think it’s Jadon that @Sonnar Brian was describing above.

It seems like my intel was faulty, then!
