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

[Ron]

My point is that it still does not work that is why they are there.
Usually not insulted but annoyed that they actually have to pay for a 
professional to repair it..
And will complain that you ripped them off and charged them for parts 
already fitted.
You are in business to make a profit, all they see is the money you just 
made not the overheads.
People should not be afraid to open their wallets and pay for what they use.
