That's really me
Ive been having troubles with my Pentax 6x7 recently. The shutter would jam up with speeds 1/125 or lower, some minor flaws on the lens as well. Such as missing a DOF lever on my 55mm and loose hood on my 200mm. The 105mm had the lens yellowing issue but some sunlight seemed the fix the problem for now.
I got the repair estimate back from and the bill is making me second guess whether or not if I should have my setup repaired or if I should take a look at KEH's offerings. The prices seemed comparable with BGN grade items running about $10-$15 dollars higher.
Basic decision falls between having my gear whose condition is a little rough repaired but in CLA'd functioning condition. Or trying my hand with KEH and hope the warranty will iron out any/if bugs with the gear.

genius and moron
A tough call. I would consider replacing the body and repairing the 55, if a new hood fixes the 200, that should be easy (or is it a built-in hood??- never had the 200)
