I don't know where your located, but in the U.S., I think we replaced one of ours at Tocad.

You can do some research and you will find a repair shop as there are more contax parts out there than you would think.

I think KEH also does contax repairs.

IMO

right now they are selling for $800-ish on ebay, but they are usually around $500 last time I looked.
