Which CB Shops are still accepting mail-in repairs?

[walterjn]

I will be setting up my shop again here in Indiana we just got here tonight and will be excepting some repairs but it will be about 6 weeks out before I'm up and running again I was not going to but If I meter the inflow of radios and don't take more than I know I can get done in a reasonable time span it should work out fine I know that isn't much help if you are looking to have them done sooner but it's the best I can do as we won't be able to move in till the house is finished in about 2 weeks and it will take me at least another 3 to 4 weeks to get set up. I do plan on doing some repair videos but that is just a plan right now. When the bench is all set up again I will post some images and let you know when I'm ready to go. Hope this doesn't come across wrong I'm not trying to plug myself I'm just letting you know what my intentions are.

Well, that sounds like good news!
I'm needing a radio worked on. Not looking for anything special, primarily a tuning & alignment as far as I know.

No that shop is gone gone and if I’m not mistaken his name was Walter so that’s what I’m hoping that he is opening back up he is one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Timing may be a little off due to your getting just set-up.
However you will be just a little over 2 hours drive from the Grand daddy of all HAMFESTS!
If you can't find what your looking for at Dayton/Xenia Hamvention..good chance you won't find it!!!

I do I have a fbook page called clear channel radios

 

[Stephen Bailey]

Are you accepting mail in repairs

 

[Bandit1]

Yes I am I ship back to the customer

 

[OldTech03]

I will be excepting mail-in repairs in the not too distant future I'm in the process of getting it all set up. This what it looks like again but just like my repairs it has to be right and that takes a little more time for a bench like this but I will get there.. Below is what it should look like except there will be more equipment I'm adding I was able to pick up my older equipment along with a ton of parts cabinets.

Talk to loosecannon on here. He is a great guy and might be able to help you.

Besides knowing what he's doing, it gets done in a timely manner.
I'm always reading or hearing about Cb shops and tecs/golden screwdrivers keeping equipment for months.
When I say months I mean 3 4 5 8!
And then the guy never fixes or.worse you never get your equipment back with little to show for the experience except a smaller bank account.
Here's the way Mike works. Send him your equipment. He recivers it fixes it and sends it back.
4 to six days from your qth to his and back to yours.
Another thing Mike does that others can't or won't is work on tube equipment.
When I say tube I'm not just talking amplifiers.
He has an incredible collection of ef Johnson equipment that would be the envy of any boat anchor enthusiast and he restored every piece.
He's got an incredible collection of AM radio's. You know the type. Zenith RCA ect ect.
If you need work on anything tube to transistor send it to him and don't worry about getting a second rate job or worse ripped

I sometimes post about Mike because it wasn't that long ago I was myself trying to find a Tec to refurbish my equipment with little luck.
Even on this forum I was told finding someone to work on tube stuff was not likely.
Mike was and is not only an excellent Tec but will walk one through a repair over the phone.
He really enjoys what he does and never minds helping. Good luck.

Unfortunately, Mike is no longer working on amplifiers. He can’t keep up with all the request for radio repairs and had to limit the kind of things he works on.

Thank you very much I sent him a email this evening I’m hoping to hear from him soon
