dont think your doing too bad keep it up 1st time i saw an outsoler i very nearly shit myself
-
perhaps cut the kid some slack he should be encouraged . ffs he works for timpsons hes good for his years when i was a relief for them i worked with people who had been there 30 odd yrs and still didnt have a clue? , so he looks a bit sheepish on an outsoler , recon i do , and ive been using one for 39yrs, at least he shows his repairs through facebook , how many on here do? hes the future of this business just saying

check your fuse box sounds daft but I once had a loose fuse so instead of 3 phase electric I got 2 , you can get 1 dodgy motor but not 3

david is a great bloke and a good friend of mine he was at my shop last week , my old boss ( timpsons 1986) used to throw a dickie fit if I didn't have rolled up sleeves , looking back he was right , just shows what doctors can do these days

look for a retirement sale , last year I bought a dn76 plus a rapid e for 1700 ( always fancied a rapid e) sold the dn for 1300 , ive got 4 outsolers 2 848s and a k and b , love the rapid e as for using it 40 times a year , that ebay one is down too a grand , once you buy it you will do more than 40 prs a year honest, I bought a clase patcher in the summer (paid a bit too much for it ), however its paid for itself already, think it was keith or his predesssor who said machines are capitol investments , my motto buy something big every year and write it off against the tax just sayin
