No experience Bill, but I've used Mark Hama several times over the past 10-15 years - Mark Hama - Contax Camera and Lens Repair.
135 or 645? I see a few mentioning T and G cameras, but none mentioning 645.
The most well known ones to me that you could try:
https://pppcameras.co.uk/ Only take UK customers
https://camerarevival.com/ (BE) They seem in for anything
https://www.fotohandel.de/en/repair/ (DE) Seem to be focused on 135 mostly, they do electronics on T and G models too
https://www.amsterdamcamerarepairs.com/ (NL) Focus mostly on analogue cameras (only one I have experience with, a positive one)

Very common problem, my first c645 had the same issue, but i was lucky that repairs were still possible back then.
But i found myself to work manually only anyway
Good to know that the problem has been seen before! I'm usually using a separate light meter with the C645 also, but it's handy to have in a pinch.
Well, hope to hear from Amsterdam Camera Repairs soon to get that minor blemish fixed.
Seems we have the exact same issue. I was going to take mine to Nippon Camera here in NY, will keep you posted once I find time to do so.
