I found a good repair guy!
no connection other than he did the job quickly, fixed what was fixable, improved what wasn't, turned it around very quickly and I didn't need to remortgage the house.

Re: I found a good repair guy!
That's a coincidence as his name came up on FB yesterday. I'm after someone who can repair an IC7300, do you know if he does surface mount device PCBs?
my friend grafter, seems like you are using a very offensive tone in the reply.

Re: I found a good repair guy!
This is a warning - his reputation is not good. Personally, I would never use him from what I've heard from multiple sources. Local and Internet.

Re: I found a good repair guy!
just speaking from my personal experience.
and a quick google gives him 4.9/5 out of 183 votes.
He fixed my radio for an acceptable price and returned it safely.
cant ask more than that.,

Re: I found a good repair guy!
(late here - I was after Jame's contact details.. since discovered)
My story is that James took apart my Acom 2000 a couple years ago (I happened to be on holiday in Cornwall at the time). Easy fix - but a hell of a lot of screws. Pleasant guy, time-served etc. Genuinely interested in what folks do and what they need - and at what cost. 4.9/5 is probably about right.

Re: I found a good repair guy!
I have no direct experience of his workmanship but he is very expensive.
Also whilst looking at his videos on Facebook I saw a radio which I had previously sold in full working order a couple of weeks previously.
Strangely it needed a full alignment and lots of remedial work.
So either the person who bought it had a good twiddle or...

There is no such thing as a Fidelity 1000 which is too good to scrap.

I would not use him again, when ya goods come back and they still have problems his attitude changes.....I'd throw a rig down garden path before use him again.

Re: I found a good repair guy!
I once sent in a radio for conversion & repair, I won't mention his name or call sign but he has a YouTube channel and a lot of people respect him... he did a lot of radio repairs for people... anyway I sent him a radio, got the radio back I trusted him 100%... I had not set the radio up it was still in its box and I paid him for it. I assumed it was all good and ready to go.
I then set the radio up later on only to find it didn't transmit or even receive, it turned on but that was it. I knew where things were going to head -- more content for his YouTube channel I suspect... I cut my losses on it. I wasn't going to entertain him anymore.
Just be careful because even though somebody can appear trustworthy may not be even if they have lots of followers.
Re: I found a good repair guy!
There's only one person I would go to with a CB repair and that's Black Spirit (Nick - in Wales).
If it weren't for him there's no one I would want to ask to do my repairs.
