Great Service! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I called Paul just before Christmas and asked him about a problem with my ICOM 2720H. He hazarded a few guesses, and said that he could only really tell by checking it out. I asked him what the turnaround time could be, and he said 3-4 weeks. And he said it probably wouldn't take that much benchtime, so the bill wouldn't be that high. I sent it in the Wed. before Christmas. On the Tuesday after Christmas, I got it back! Not only did he repair the problem, but he went through and checked everything and updated what needed updating. And the price was a lot less than anything I expected! I called him to personally thank him and tell him I appreciated him working on it over the holidays. We had a pleasant conversation and I assured him I would recommend others to him, which I will do without reservation. It would sure be nice if everyone you had to deal with was as customer oriented as Paul.

Sent Paul an Icom 738 for repair.Repaired & returned in less than a week at a reasonable cost. It's a no-brainer who gets my vote.

PAUL IS IN S.C. Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Hey I forgot to say that Paul has moved from Tucker to Anderson S.C. in my post yesterday about my KW 440S. His call is W6XA

I sent Paul my KW-440S that had been sitting for the better part of 15 years. He checked it out and repaired one board and installed a YK88C filter I provided and gave me a very pleasent surprise in the bill. I was figuring atleast 50%more that he charged. I have recommended him to several Hams and will do so in the future.

Thorough and fast. Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Paul did a restoration to an L-4B that I had managed to mangle up. Six years since then, it is still running strong and trouble-free. He is friendly and knowledgeable enough to discuss a multitude of technical issues. No surprises on the final price, either.

They don't come any more honest than Paul.

Grat experience Time Owned: more than 12 months.
FT1000 Mark V blew finals for some unknown reason while running only 40 watts in class A operation. Paul discussed my findings and thoughts, had me check couple of things, then decided I need to send it to him. Output now about 210 watts and radio working perfectly. Speedy turnaround and very fair pricing. Would use again for sure. Take away the "0" rating by one guy and Paul has a "5" by all others.

None Better Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Paul did a repair for me last year on a FT-1000MP MK V that had several serious problems for a very reasonable price, and the radio works great again. He has a well equipped lab, is extremely knowledgeable, and great to deal with. This was the first time in 40 years that I have not repaired my own gear other than one HT. He wouldn't have gotten the radio to repair if it had been easy!

Paul repaired my ProII in a little over a week and for a very reasonable fee. I can't ask for more than that! Excellent service and a good guy to deal with.

Very good service! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Paul has repaired several of my radios (IC-756 & IC-706)and has always done a great job. He will pro-rate his service charge and will only charge you for the actual time it takes him to work on the repair (unlike other service centers who charge a flat fee for 1hr of work, even if it takes only 30min!).

Good service, good guy!
