Yes, I feel sorry for those people that have trusted a tech to repair a family heirloom or any radio they value and later find out that he did what was best for him, maybe not what was best.

That is why I tell the many people who ask me for a reference to: Always work with a real (licensed) co who is bonded. Not that these guys might not screw up, but because these guys have made an investment in their business and bad results have an impact.  - - and if the repairs burn your house down you can call their insurance co.

I have had quite different responses on that other site, which is what I expected. Makes you guys a bunch of hard-core radio collectors..   Thanks.
