Tim fixed it.. Time Owned: more than 12 months.
My FT-1000MP is a backup rig and I turned it on one day to find after a few minutes the power went out on it but would intermittently come back on. I've had it since new and it hasn't given me much trouble in 26 years but didn't want to tackle it. I found that Tim still handles the MP's and after communicating with him the rig was sent off. In short order he found some minor issues and corrected them and returned it promptly. I tested it upon receipt and all is well. Tim returned the parts that were replaced as well. I would highly recommend his service and I will not have to remortgage the house. Thanks Tim!

Excellent Work with Fast Turnaround Time Owned: more than 12 months.
My Yaesu FT-857D would not transmit on CW or SSB. I saw ceramic filters CF2, CF3 and CF5 had white residue and likely failed.

I left a message for Tim and he returned my call, the next day while on vacation! I shipped the rig and total turnaround was only ten days, including repair and shipment both ways. Tim also ensure rig on frequency. The bill was inside the box and I paid by check. Repair fee was prorated as well and very reasonable.

Tim is honest and incredibly fast on turnaround. An excellent experience. Thanks Tim!

Fast and good Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I had low power output on a Icom 756 Pro that he fixed and sent back in no time.
I couldn't be happier.

Fast and reasonable repair service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I contacted Tim about my Yaesu FT-1000MP which had developed a problem of intermittent or no output on 12 and 10 meters. Turns out this is a common problem in these units.
After shipping my rig to him, I was amazed to find that it was repaired and on the way back to me almost as soon as it arrived. The invoice was sent in the box.
So, briefly stated, very rapid repair, very reasonable pricing.
I happily add my 5-star rating to the reviews for Tim.
Thanks, Tim, for a very pleasant repair experience.

The ONLY place to send a sick rig! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
There is a sign in Wyoming that says, "Eat more lamb - 50,000 coyotes can't be wrong!". Taking that advice I searched Amateur Radio Equipment Repair until I found a LOT of 5.0's who has experience. That led me to Tim. I emailed him about may ailing FT-1000 MKV Field. He said he could fix it (he is a man of few words). Based on his bio, he has been working on radios and overseeing a service department of radio repair since "The Last Supper". So, I boxed up the radio in the original box and sent it to him in South Dakota. About a week after it arrived I got a short email saying it was fixed. My box with radio arrived about a week later. I found his invoice inside the box. I was pleasantly surprised at all the work he did and the modest charges - most of it for the shipping of this 50lb boat anchor. I'm sold! Any more radio troubles go to Tim. Suggest you give him a try as well! Thanks Tim and 73. Lee - K7NM/VP2MLB

Fast, fair price, excellent service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I shipped a Yaseu dual-bander to Tim last week. He received it on Wednesday and I had it back, repaired, the following Thursday. Tim's per-hour repair fee is reasonable, he answered my questions via e-mail promptly, and he's never failed to give me excellent service. I recommend Midwest Technical Services unreservedly.

KENWOOD TS 790A Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Had been in contact with Tim before the Chinese virus was sprung on the USA, that and other problems slowed down my being able to send rig to Tim.
Told him what I had problems with, sent it to him from Mississippi, he received unit and had it headed home in less than a week including shipping.
Another shop told me that it could not be repaired without even looking at it. Tim is an HONEST guy. Price was very reasonable and quick turnaround. I will not hesitate to use him in future.

Wow!…just wow! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I had my Icom 746 non pro whose xmit went down to only couple watts, plus it seemed that rcv was decreased also. So I sent it to Tim at Midwest Technical Services in SD. He got it on a Friday afternoon, repaired it fully on Monday, and gave it to FedEx on Tuesday. How is that for service?! Cost was reasonable, but FedEx liked it so much, they took full wk to get it here…hi hi.
Now, I have other Icoms, like 7300, 7410, and 756pro, plus couple Older kenwoods. In a head to head, to head, check on rcv, my 746 did better on sensitivity than other two! Also, the 746 is putting out a little over 100 watts now, bit more than before. So, when I need another repair of something, I know who I will call on. Thank you, Tim,????????????

Great Repair Service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Here is an update: Was very pleased with the work Tim did on my FT-5200 so when my TS-850 display went dark and the AT stopped functioning I boxed it up and sent it to Tim. Received back in about one week and unpacked the rig and fired it up. Could not believe it was the same radio. Receiver was incredibly better, radio performs like a new one and the tuner works fine. Got a problem....send it to this guy!
My FT-5200 dual bander began showing its age so I sent it to Tim for a check up. The radio came back quickly performing like a new one, replaced parts returned and a fair price charged. Highly recommend Tim.

Fast reliable service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Had a few problems with my Kenwood TS2000 and sent it to Tim for repairs. He had it back to me working as good as new in less than two weeks from the day I shipped it to him. Price was reasonable too. I highly recommend Tim for your repair needs.
