    Electrical Instrument Repair needed

    Can anyone suggest an electrical instrument repairer in the lower mainland of BC? Someone who really understands optical instruments and does
    on-site visits.

    I'm sure you have already looked into this, but what about the original vendor of said item? Or another supplier of the same product.

    Hi Ted

    I'll give you a name and number when I see you on Monday -- there's a fellow in the Valley who's done some work for us in the past and I do believe he does housecalls. I'll get his info for you.

    Thanks Jedi. Yes I have. TOPCON has a good equipment tech but he comes out to BC infrequently and will squeeze you in with another Topcon call, say instrument/equipment delivery. He also likes to stick to Topcon products.

    I am looking for someone I can call and get in within one (1) day or so.

    So sorry Ted we got talking about other things when I was there! Yes, he's retired. However, I'll ask around and see what I can come up with for you.
