This sounds to me like a good bet for probable cause. Anything normally
serviced in a CLA would be unlikely since the camera was serviced
relatively recently by Clint. But if the 2s requires drilling out the
wind latch assembly perhaps that's not a normal CLA procedure and maybe
has never been done.
