Hello!
We frequently have customers around the globe of the spare parts we sell with technical questions how to repair there projector.

Preferably I want to refer them to a local projector repair company. Is there a list being maintained for this?
Or?

In the UK,we have people such as Bill Parsons who is advertised on the B.F.C.C. home page, Edwin.

Also, Kevin Brown, John White etc etc, who have their own websites.

In Germany, there are still one or two companies that advertise the repair of our machines, like FFR Filmtecknic, Wittners etc.

The forums also offer a resource for help regarding repairs.

Unless people are sending you their particular machine to actually repair Edwin, I see no reason why you should be inundated with people merely seeking advice on HOW they can go about repairing their own machines. [Confused]

It's hardly conducive with trying to run a business now is it?

Sorry Maurice, my mistake, it is of course Kevin Brown!

David Brown make very fine industrial gear boxes in Huddersfield and Penistone, but I doubt they will fix your projector! [Big Grin]
