RE: Having worked in several repair shops...

Posted by Sondek on July 5, 2017 at 07:05:16:
My local repair service is as you said ... a small two man operation. Both of them are refugees from the service department of one of the old-line electronics salons that folded a few years back. The wait time issue they have is that there are very, very few competent repair sources in my area, and with the popularity of 1970's mid-fi boat anchors, they literally have mountains of that stuff stacked up awaiting attention. They have customers who re-sell these "treasures" that they find in flea markets and estate sales and they will bring in five or six of them at once. Good for my repair guys, but bad for wait times.
