Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Epic story condensed
Had a serious problem with a ft-980 called Carol Aug 3rd.
She had me send it even though as of Aug 1st was not accepting more repairs! After timeless hours and 4 days of trying to revive this rig it was not worth it and made a great offer to me for a brand new ft-450 at a very reasonable price.
Communication was very good.
Thank you Carol you are one of the very best in this trade. From my heart I really maen that.
I would recommend Certified electronics to all.
Ps. Nature of Bootcamp officer is to be Provocative and push buttons to get a response good or bad. I just have to learn I'm not at work nomore.
Have a wonderfull trip.
Godbless You :-)

Ameritron Amplifier Repair Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Certified Electronics did a GREAT JOB repairing my amplifiers. Carol is a very good radio technician. Her repair shop is clean, organized and very professional. I appreciate the wonderful service I have received at Certified Electronics. I highly recommend Carol.

My worn out Johnson Viking Valiant Is back to life! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Problem: OLD Johnson wore slap out.
Solution: Drive 80 miles to Carol at Certified Electronics and ask her to fix my Johnson. Result: It not only works like new,she took the time to clean and shine it up. She also replaced my old scratched up face with a like new one and didn't take any money for the extras!

When I asked Carol if she could breathe some new life into it,she told me first thing, "I'll do it but it'll take some time. These old Johnson's usually need a lot of attention to make them work like they should. I have other work to do and will work on it when I get breaks. If that isn't OK,I won't take it in". As usual she told me what was what with no BS.You always know where you stand with her. The woman is honest and straight forward almost to a fault.

In the time she had my Johnson I had the occasion to drive down to the shop with a friend and his FT 950 that got attacked by a golden screwdriver!. She got it fixed while we waited. My friend is writing his own review about his experience with Carol's work on the FT 950

So,32 days after I left my Johnson with her I get a call from her saying it was working again like new! It not only operates like a new rig it looks damn near new!Thanks again Carol for more excellent work. I'll be back!!!

fast and efficent Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I took my FT-950 to Carol, someone had tried some soldering inside and burned a strip into. She found the proublem right away and fixed it while I waited. She really Knows what she is doing.I also did some trading with her, she is fair and honest. Thanks certified electronics for being there for me.

Excellent Work! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I sent a Henry Tempo One to Carol and didn't really know if the radio was repairable. Carol communicated via email and even called my cell phone to give me status. In less than two weeks he had returned a radio that far exceeded my expectations. He replaced the pair of finals, tuned, re-wired, and aligned the entire set. He was very diligent and I will definitely do business with CEI again. '73's Wes N5HK

Quick turn around! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
My review of Certified Electronics is also a commentary on eHam in that everything said about Certified Electronics on these pages is absolutely true. When my Yaesu FT-757GX laid down on me, I drove it the 68 miles from my home to the shop, and while I sat by the coffee and goodies, Carol took my rig, and before I knew it, I was on my way back home with my rig all fixed and ready to get back on the air.
I am finding that hams in general are good people, but Carol is exceptional. Al, AK4FC

Repair of FT101 E Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Service on tube equipment is becoming very difficult these days. Fortunately, I found Carol Maher at Certified Electronics through Eham. I sent him an email describing the problem with my FT101E and he immediately came back with an approximate repair price and detail packing suggestions.

Two weeks later and a couple of emails and I received it back and it played out of the box. And then he sent me an email asking if it was performing to expectations. We just do not see such excellent turnaround and professional post-service support these days. Thanks to Carol and Josh for bringing the glow back into my ham shack..I recommend him unconditionally.
