True but I did quite well anyways.
In the 70's every little town had a shop or two selling and service.
We ran a 2-3 week backlog, 1 week on road. Most "better" SS audio
was 4-8 weeks. What we didnt do up to the late 70's shows how much
there was to do :
NO Jap sets
NO carry in on consoles (no room)
NO solid state sets unless it was Zenith or Admiral
NO Sears
Exceptions were made for "good" customers....... We slowly started
doing that stuff in later years.
Then abt 1982 in march we noticed there were no longer repairs
stacked 3 high in the show room. By April we were waiting for
stuff to come in. New ball game, tubes history.......
Now if there were a shop doing the 60's-80's sets I would work
for $5 an hour
