[Jukebox-list] "PRO" help-was- WSR5 receiver

[Justin S.]

Hi Wes and Ron, it's funny you guys should mention this; i couldn't agree 
more. when someone brings me a juke component that needs service and begins 
to tell me it should be "something simple" since they already did this or 
that, it's almost a given it will end up being more expensive than if they 
would have brought it to me untouched. it's frustrating and time consuming 
trying to find where they soldered the cap on the wrong pin or cut out wires 
they shouldn't have. i do feel that there are some parts of a juke resto 
that most people can perform themselves (usually cosmetics) and have the 
satisfaction of working on their own machine. i'm strongly against the mass 
market for cap kits to folks who've never held a soldering iron. justin

    Ron, we charge much more for repairing 'restored' boxes than
untouched originals. Wes

Justin,
  An incredible amount of my bench time is spent on equipment that has
"just been fixed" by "another person". I hate to charge for this work,
bu


t, I really have no choice, as it just "burns time" trying to figure
out what someone else has done. Just one "wrong" component, or one,
incorrectly installed, can be very time consuming to find, and, can
cause many other components to fail. I do not wish to dis-courage
anyone, but I feel that each person must learn to leave it alone, and
pay for "pro" help, when the level is above their capabilities--it's
going to be less $$, in the long run.
  Ron Rich
