A lot of studio owners now want to repair their own equipment....
though they do not have the technical experience to do it on their own.
And of course they want me to guide them over the phone or via emails.
Basically what folks are saying is:
"I want to do it myself so I do NOT have to hire someone like you
to come over and do the repairs..."
Good techs have years of electronic education and many years
of experience doing repairs on all sorts of Professional and
Semi-Pro studio gear....
I myself have been doing Studio repairs since 1975
Good techs have the right Test Equipment and Tools.
and that equipment is expensive.
We've learned the ways and methods to get repairs done right.
