| Electronics repair times
What has been the experience others here have had with the time it takes to get repair work done on AV equipment?
I had taken in a VCR one time for my grandmother. In the amount of time it took for the repair she was diagnosed with cancer, had several hospitalizations, chemotherapy and somewhat of a recovery before the repair work was completed. It took 4 months total for the work.
I just brought in a speaker under warranty. I was told it would be checked in about 2 days. I called to check and it hasn't been looked at yet and it's been in the shop for over a week. I know what the problem is, it's the cross-over network, and mentioned that when I brought it in.
I'm thinking I should just get it back and DIY. |

That was in 1998 and under warranty. I just don't want a repeat with the speaker. |
