and I see a need for someone to do the repair work. and I am considering doing 
some of it.

the business model will demand a cost specified per hour, and that.. to me, is 
a huge hurdle.

One of the reasons it is tuff to get folks to fix TT gear.. is the information 
about that particular model may be in question, the parts maybe in a difficult 
situation to find, and the time it takes to accomplish an acceptable repair.

Most of the TT repairs are a bit more time consuming than many want to do. Time 
is money, therefore the cost gets outta reason.

Thanks for the response.  It just seems odd that no former employees advertise 
privately to repair Ten Tec gear.

It's getting more difficult to sell a Ten Tec rig due to uncertainty.

Thanks,
