My second M7's shutter came jammed last month, probably caused by a piece of chipped film. The curtain is now a little deformed, I suspect it will need to be replaced.
I understand that none of the old names (Sherry, Don, Youxin, etc.) would take the M7, even the problem is not electronic. For me anyone in the Asia-Pacific will do so I tried Kanto in Japan, which I had good experience with, and was told they keep no parts for the M7.
Is it truly my only option that I have to send it to Leica to shed out $500+ for a curtain alone?

You should contact Youxin or the old masters anyway, esp. if issue is not electronic. Worse case they send it back to you.
Good luck, though, and let us M7 owners know how it went.
