Here's a table of rates for each type of repair, and all prices include parts and labor. If I can't fix it, you don't pay!
I also ask that you pay return postage, which will be the going rate for U.S. Priority Flat Rate Priority, or International Priority, plus optional insurance.
| Tune-Up New beefer bridges, header pins, diodes, resistors, MOV, and fuses (no clips) |
$38.00 |
| Replace just the header pins Brand new rows, nice and shiny |
$8.00 |
| Replace the fuse clips New clips all around, including beryllium copper for the 20A fuses |
$8.00 |
| New fuses (no clips) Add this to any repair that does not include new fuses already, or for a spare set. |
$4.00 |
| Install Transformer Molex Connectors Between the transformer and the board - makes future repairs easier |
$15.00 |
| Testing Fee For any board deemed unrepairable |
$5.00 |
| Anything Else If none of the above apply, I'll quote the cost of repair after taking a look |
$quote$ |
| .156" connectors, sold with any repair New housings, keys, and plenty of trifurcon crimp-on pins |
$7.00 each |
All prices do not include return shipping.
It's best to send the entire assembly: board and transformer, so I can properly test it. If you want to end just the board, be aware that you'll have to cut or remove the wires that go to the board, and then reappy them properly. Shipping the entire assembly is not that bad as the USPS has a flat-rate priority box that the whole assembly will fit in, which costs less than 13.00, plus insurance.
BE SURE TO ADD LOTS OF PACKING MATERIAL AROUND THE TRANSFORMER TO KEEP IT
FROM SHIFTING AROUND IN THE BOX!!!
I like to nail a small piece of wood inside the box, then screw the mounting plate to that in order to secure it.
I CAN NOT TEST YOUR BOARD UNLESS ALL WIRES ARE STILL ATTACHED!
So feel free to send me your board(s) or assemblies and I'll take a look and let you know what I think, then you can decide what to do from there. Probably a good idea if you e-mail me first, just so I know what to expect (remove the NO_S*P*A*M_).
Here's a picture of an TA-100 that I recently refirbushed. Prior to this repair the header pins were scorched, and both resistors looked stressed. It got new bridge rectifiers too.
Of course, there's always Ts & Cs
(revised), and don't forget prices DO NOT include shipping.
If you decide to "do it yourself", visit
Big Daddy or
GPE
for all the parts you'll need.
I'll still fix it when you're done. :-)
Thanks!
