Default Leica M6 top plate bubbles

Has anyone here had the top plate of their M6 renovated to cure the infamous zinc bubble issue?

I'm keen to know where, how much, and how successful it was. I am in the UK.

Thanks.

This may be the company that Mitch is referring to. They do quote repair prices that look current; but it looks from the website as if they are rather overwhelmed.

It occurs to me that you could look at some of the dealers listed in the "Links" section of www.theleicasociety.org.uk . They might offer you advice on where to go.

I have had ordinary repair work done on a couple of Leicas; but the people I went to wouldn't do that sort of specialised work.
