Radio Restoration, West Coast

[Lloyd KK7IZ]

There is/was a guy in the Portland area. His bill reads something like:
Replace filter cap Cx $15.00
Replace filter cap Cxx $15.00
(repeat for as many caps as he feels like changing)
Align 1st rf stage band 1 $15.00
Align second rf stage band 1 $15.00
Align oscillator band 1 $15.00
(repeat for each band.)
Align 1st IF $15.00
etc   etc   etc
He ran up a bill ov over $500 on a friends SX-28, and it didn't work when he 
got it back. Wonder how he aligned all those stages when the power 
trasnformer was open.
(Sorry, don't remember name, was 10 years ago. With any luck he is fixing 
radios in hell.) Anyway, ask a lot of questions before you turn somebody 
loose. There are a lot of good honest techs out there, and a few dishonest 
ones.
Thanx
