Gas bench on its way to glynn tomorrow. Quoted £250 for a straightforward repair. Hopefully it will be straightforward!
Crypton: £60 call out then £49.50 for each hr.
Crypton will also re-work bench. Not sure about the turnaround though and more involved to get a quote.
However, a new one (to avoid machine being out of comission) is £700.
Thanks for welcome. I have actually been 'lurking' in these forums for quite sometime and have made the odd posting - mainly because I am a little more computer literate - but usually just use Ian's name.
Unless I post back on the subject, you may call it mission sucessful.
