[ARC5] Big/Heavy is Over

[Peter Gottlieb]

Same here. More than happy to do all manner of repairs for friends, and once in a while those special cases, but can’t do the work for everyone. Even if paid, logistics plus troubleshooting plus maintaining my own test gear plus finding proper replacement parts plus repair and adjustments takes enough time that very few would be willing to pay. I am also not retired, actually work for a startup with long hours, so I have very little “lab” time. On average I probably only have maybe 8-10 hours per week to do all my create and build and repair activities.
