[Yaesu] repair shops, east

Thu, 01 May 2003 10:35:57 -0400

What I can say for Milton Lord is he used non original vendor
parts (which was the wrong part too) and replaced a whole
board rather than replacing a transistor on the board!  A job
that should have cost about $100 ended up over $400...  He
also ended up breaking parts he needed not be near (opposite
side or rig) which caused the equipment to be shipped back
again.  

My conclusion was use the manufacturers repair facility for
work done correctly and at a lower cost!  Both with Yaesu and
ICOM.
