My take on getting a repair.

My guess is that there will be NO Extra extended outside of warranty repairs on any of the KM cameras. When KM sold out to Sony, I'm sure some legal team of lawyers, made sure that Sony would not be on the hook for any design flaws from KM. And this repair issue was known to the 2 companies by the time of the takeover.
Sony will probable honor any problems during regular warranty periods,
but after that, you are on your own.

I can hear it now, from Sony.

Get rid of that old broken down KM camera.
( It was nothing but trouble anyway.)

Buy a new Sony Super DSLR Wiz-bang, Series A-xxx.xx!

Comes complete with Super-Duper Image Stabilization &
Solid Gold Lenses!

(Price of lens dependent on Gold prices at time of purchase.)
Get Yours Today!!

It would be in Sony's best interest to get rid of the old KM cameras
as soon as possible. Not much incentive to repair the old stuff.

Just my take on the whole thing.
