Our repair service focuses on mechanical repairs and replacement of parts for older equipment that doesn’t not include electronics. Most older equipment doesn’t come with repair manuals so we need to learn about the equipment by having it in hand. For newer equipment it can be more cost effective to contact the original manufacturer. In all cases we are willing to discuss and share our expertise.

Much of equipment that exists does not come with service manuals and modern day equipment manufactures don’t care for repairs made outside of their business models. Modern digital cameras typical require service from manufactures and are often treated as disposable by the manufacture. However, even if we don’t have experience with the equipment we welcome the conversation. If we don’t have the needed experience we may be able to point you another vendor.
