After 4 decades in the trade I have never known the TV/Video/Audio repair trade to be so bad. I used to repair 7 or 8 items a day and now I'm down to 1 or 2 a week so its time to switch off the soldering iron and pack up. Everyone wants to buy as cheap as possible so prices have eroded every year until an economic repair is no longer viable. That is if you can get the spares. Unless you have an account with the reputable manufacturers ( for which you need a minimum spend and a high tech workshop) the prices from a distributor are too high. I've been charging the same repair price for the last 20 years just to keep going, to keep the repair viable, but not anymore.....I'm off to enjoy life at last!
