[TechAssist] Re: **** Notice!!!!!

The few times I used it, it worked great.
Then cameras became so cheap that people wouldn't pay for that kind of work
anymore.
Like replacing the 6 then 12 then 24 caps in the Sonys. By the time they
need repair, a new and better one was on sale for a hundred dollars more
that the repair cost of the old one.
