Default Re: End of an era.

I had a repair shop in the mid eighties, and I thank my lucky stars that after about five years of trading, I saw the future and decided to get out, whilst I was still in my late 20’s.

It was becoming, even then, more difficult to get service info and certain specific parts for a lot of gear, unless you were a ‘dealer’.


As a one man band, you had to be prepared to tackle almost anything that came through the door.

Whilst I enjoyed the faultfinding and the general process of the business, it was becoming obvious that things weren’t going to get any better....
