Do you promise that you won't use the same soldering that you use for
plumbing. : )

Cheer's, RM~

Not the same soldering as for plumbing? What else?
Just curious ;-)

I'm a professional pipe-installer/ plumber. The company I work for
charges about EUR 35,- for 1 hour real hard work....
Beeing realistic a repair would cost 17 US$ (parts included) it would
give you an hourly income of US$ 40 or more easily, handling the
shipping (UPS pick up service or similar) included. Costs of shipping
are seperately.
I don't do radio repair by profession and I will not charge for helping
a friend other than the parts cost.
So come to me with your 2010 in one hand and a six-pack of coke-classic
in the other hand. Lets have a nice talk and let's drink a coke while I
change the blown FET and add some diodes...
I live in Berlin/ Germany. A little search will bring up my cell-phone
number to you...

That sounds like a very good deal, but I don't have a 2010 nor do I think
I'll be in Germany anytime soon. Anyway, I do all my own radio repairs.
I'll fix up a radio for someone I know, but I don't want to deal with the
general public. Some people are just plain nuts!! And considering the time
a repair person might waste making some nut happy, I sure can understand why
a repair person would charge more than a minimal rate in order to avoid
taking a loss on the whole business.

Mmmmm. That Coke offer sounds tempting, though.
