Seems amazing value - labour fixed at £48 plus VAT whatever needs doing,
plus parts. Last time I took something in for repair to a local place it
cost £50 just for them to look at it.
Not really - if you are dealing with the same products all the time you
will have all the required test rigs, spares and expertise to hand. Plus
you can site your factory in a cheaper area than the local high street.
Not knocking Quad of course - so few others offer anything like such good
service.
I remember taking a pair of ELS 57 for repair - you could pre-book a same
day while you wait service. Some 30 years ago. The 'golden ears' who
assessed the speaker's condition was a large lady wearing a turban. She
played various types of music through them from a Brenel 1/4" tape machine
running at 15ips. And after giving her verdict recommended a local pub
while she saw to the repairs.
