Is he accommodating?
Had a bad experience from this guy, he believes so much of him.
Just sharing the experience during my inquiry for assistance to repair some of my Sansui units.
Jun Medina is a Japanese trained tech used to work at Sansui Service Center
at VV Soliven towers before, so he is qualified....he tells me he is swamped with work....
the problem very common with vintage gears is parts availability as many of the semicons
have become obsolete due to age...simply not available anymore....
So if he thinks that your unit is not worth his time, then don't take it against him....
we communicate once in a while about parts and stuff...btw, i came to know him thru pdvd....
add to that is the fact that when a unit has been tampered with,
the repair then becomes a matter of board replacement....
Guys like Nelson Pass and maybe John Curl buy parts by the hundred thousand pieces,
so that they have a lifetime supply of parts....few guys can afford that for sure....
sir, ypgm...
