[QUOTE="Schalk, post: 41382, member: 541"] 'Tis easy me merry gentlemen ;) Just get out of repairs altogether, I did. Most of us tech type outjies get branded as ripoffs, "mechanics" and so on. When the customers walked in the door and looked at me like I had "service shark" tattooed on my forehead, I just weighed anchor and departed for friendly shores. Pointless to try and explain about the pirate parts you have to contend with, or the complete non-availability of original spares from appointed importers. Having to scrounge around for likely equivalents AND having to give a guarantee... :'( Even back in the 70's and 80's fake spares were pretty much a problem already. And heaven forbid, how COULD you charge extra for time spent in chasing these odd spares :o Like I said, easy...just let go. You'll be missed for a bit and then the joys of all that extra spare time you now have will be like a new life altogether. [/QUOTE]
