Kept machines running that nobody else would touch
The shop started in a garage, fixing a neighbor's electromechanical machine that three other repair calls had already given up on. Word spread through local collectors faster than any ad could have, and the garage became a proper bench within two years.
Most manufacturers stopped supporting these machines decades ago. There is no factory hotline to call, no replacement board on a shelf somewhere - just schematics, a scope, and enough hours on the bench to know what a good waveform looks like on a fifty-year-old driver board.
Two techs work the bench today. Between them they have kept close to nine hundred machines running for home collectors, route operators, and neighborhood bars.
