[ARC5] Dan Nelson: Excellent TV-7 Restoration

[scottjohnson1]

In a word- no.  He has parts, used, not, and reproduction for the tv-7, and does not really care to work on others , but you can always ask: djn at ieee.orgSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

            Set-aside some of the tax-extortion refund to
              have
            
            one
            
            of my TV-7 Tube Testers professionally
              restored.
            
            Sent it to Mr. Dan Nelson in Chandler, AZ.
            
            Got it back yesterday.
            
            
            
            Very impressed!  This TV-7 was a real
              train-wreck.
            
            Lots of problems and looked like it had been
            
            through 
            
            a hot war.  He said he would do what he could
              with
            
            
            
            the case.  I told him "test equipment is like
              
            
            a good spouse- loyalty is more important than
            
            pretty."
            
            
            
            What I got back looks splendid.  Dan even did
              the 
            
            "elbow grease" to remove the years of spray
              paint
            
            and
            
            crud to get down to the original finish.
            
            It's beautiful.  All the worn-out sockets and
            
            busted
            
            parts are replaced with new.  The "sticky"
              meter
            
            has
            
            been replace.  Overload-burnt parts and
              hack-job 
            
            "repairs" have been replaced and corrected. 
              
            
            It works like new.  Dan's craftsmanship is
            
            top-shelf.
            
            He included an invoice and description of the
              work
            
            done with full details and a page of
              performance
            
            tests:
            
            https://tinyurl.com/yy7caeod
            
            
            
            Dan's service is not "cheap."  Base charge
              for a
            
            list
            
            of standard items is $250 plus parts and
              shipping.
            
            But consider this:  A TV-7 in this excellent
            
            condition
            
            commonly sells on Ebay for $800-$900.  Even
              if you
            
            
            
            need a new meter ($140) and major repairs so
              that 
            
            the total is $450 or more, that's still an
            
            excellent
            
            return on your investment.  I'd buy things
              for 
            
            $450 I could sell for $900 all day and all
              night.
