- Prices include Parts and Labor for the typical service required.
- Heads for older Panasonic machines are not as good as the pre-1994 originals
- Capstan Motors for the Tascam DA-30, DA-P20 and Casio portables are no longer available.
- First-time DA-88 repair charges are higher to cover the extensive cleaning required (because of the fan design) so that all upgrades and improvements will actually do their job. Damage caused by leaky battery to Main SYSCON boards is an additional $105.

PACKING TIPS
BEFORE PACKING: Attach a detailed account of the machine's problems before wrapping in swaddling clothes.
DO NOT ASSUME that a phone conversation describing the patient's ailments will be embedded in my memory.
DO CALL BEFORE SHIPPING: 651-554-0304
INNER BOX: Wrap tape machines in plastic and if space permits, BUBBLE WRAP.
DO NOT COVER a naked machine with packing peanuts, they are a pain in the ass to clean up!!!
SHIPPING: Use original packing materials, but also attempt to double-box for added protection.
DO NOT SHIP: Power cables, machine control cables, digital data cables or terminators unless they are suspect.
If you can double-box, 6-inches of PACKING PEANUTS are best used between the inner box and the outer box.
TIME SENSITIVE? If Express Service is requested and you are willing to pay for it, Please write the return shipment date on the outside of the box. I do not have X-RAY vision nor is it possible to remember the agreed upon temrs & conditions for each arriving package.
Thank You for reading and implementing the Packing Tips!
