Below is the text pulled from my Yelp review of Steve’s Camera Service to fix my broken Leica M6.

So here is the story:
About 3 months ago, I inherited a Leica M6 from a good friend of mine. I had only shot digital (with a Leica M9) and shooting film was a huge blast. I took that baby through half of Asia (Tokyo, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, etc).
Then about a week ago I was shooting with it in Downtown LA and suddenly at around 20 shots in- my film advance lever would get jammed. I was scared crapless- because I had to get it fixed ASAP (heading to Hong Kong in 3 days to teach a street photography workshop).
Anyways, I asked on Twitter about the broken M6 problem- and a bunch of guys referred me to Steve.
