[QUOTE="audiophile831, post: 7261815, member: 624785"] Mike fixed an american bass vfl 500.1 that i sent him. Comunication was great at the beginning but ****** after i gave him a deposit for parts. He had the amp for well over a month. When he emailed me that he would need the rest of the money as he had finished the amp and needed payment to ship, i paid him the next day. I then got promised several times that my amp would get shipped so and so day and didnt happen. It went on like this for about 2 weeks until i lost my patience and was pretty much hounding him everyday until he shipped it. I got the amp and tested it and would not power on. I flipped the amp around and was missing some screws on the back cover. All screws where there before. I opened it to find that there was some metal bars that were not soldered to the board properly. I pushed these in and amp powered right up. At that point i wanted to call mike out on this but really didnt want to Spend money shipping it out to him again and not knowing when i would get it back. I took it to a local tv repair shop and charged me 30 bucks to solder those bars back to the board. The guy at the repair shop said work was done around the area where the soldering was needed. Amp works great tho. The packaging when mike returned me the amp ******. Was not really padded as well as when i shipped it to him. Mike might do good work but i think he has taken on too much work as to what he can handle. I think if he doesnt improve his comunication, no matter how affordable repair services he offers he simply wont last long here much longer. [/QUOTE]
