    I would not send it back, he doen't know what he is 
doing. There are some very good Rollei techs out there, 
people on this list can recommend the good ones.
    Even very old Compur shutters should run very close to 
the right speeds with the possible exception of the maximum 
speed where spring fatigue may be a factor. If the slow 
speeds are off it suggests the clockwork retarder was not 
cleaned or that it was re-installed incorrectly. The test 
speed for it is 1/10th second, that should be exactly 
accurate. None of this is brain surgery. Get your money back 
and send the camera to:
