UK CLA for Oly SP?

[Rodchenko]

I've got an Olympus 35SP, but this morning found the rangefinder was taking time to get to the right focus, probably because it was very cold.

There is the tiniest play in the lens mount, but the rangefinder seems to be accurate for the marked distance (once it has settled).

Can anyone suggest what might be causing this delay, and whether it is easily resolved?

And please can anyone suggest where I can get a CLA in the UK.

Thanks. I did search, but didn't find that.

In the meantime, I found that I work less than a mile from a chap called Graham Playford, who seems to have a good reputation.

EDIT: Damn phone 'correcting' my spelling again...

You are welcome. I would be interested in hearing about the results once the job is done. As I said on the linked thread, I will gladly welcome alternative options for Oly r/f CLA and repair on this side of the pond, now that John Hermanson is no longer working on rangefinders.
