Here are some answers to questions I frequently get asked. If only there was an acronym for that...anyway:

Q: Where do I ship my repair to?
A: After carefully packing your board in a strong box with lots of bubble wrap and foam peanuts, please send it to:

Chad Entringer
1233 Emilie St
Green Bay, WI 54301

Q: Do I need to send you the neck board and remote board with the chassis?
A: Yes, over and over again customers forget to send their remote board. Not only may I not have one readily available. It may be causing monitor troubles.

Q: Should I send you my whole monitor tube.
A: Under rare circumstances only. Such as if you are requiring a tube rejuvenation or if I do not have a tube/yoke setup to bench your boards. Some guys send in there entire 15" G05 tubes since its caged nice and smaller.

Q: I'm afraid I may break something. Any special way to pack my monitor chassis?
A: Bubble wrap, foam, filler, tight so nothing shakes around. Most importantly use a strong box.. something that will withstand stacked pressure. worn shabby boxes will buckle and cave in.

Q: After you receive my board, when will I have it back?
A: Its common to have your board fixed within 4 days of arrival. Even same day turn around happens!

Q: What method do you receive payment?
A: You may pay with paypal.com, money order or personal check. You can pay before the job is done or when its repaired and ready to ship. You may use the paypal.com hotlink on the main page. What I do prefer most, is a personal check or money order included with your repair order.

Q: How do I discharge a monitor before removing the suction cup thing (anode)?
A: Here is a link to a good write up on discharging crts-> apple write up discharging procedure

Worried? Don't be. Why? Because:

"Hi Chad I received the board Friday as promised. I installed the board and it worked perfect. I just want to thank you. You notified me when you received the board, kept me up to date on the progress and notified me when it was finished and shipped. A very good and professional experience. Thanks again Chad"

"got it, it works, thanks for the super fast work"
-Andy Rosa, Flushing Mi

"That worked! Oh, thank you so much Chad. You have been hugely professional in this whole ordeal, from answering every question I had, to keeping my updated on your progress, to even catching the ONE little goof that you made. I truly appreciate all the work you've done."
-Jim, Pittsburg, KS

"Hello, Chad. Just wanted to give you the head’s up that I got the chassis’s the other day and put the one with the new flyback back together last night. Works perfect! Haven’t had a chance to test the other since it’s a spare but I’m confident that one will work fine, too. Just wanted to say thanks for the quality work. I bought a “substitute” chassis quite awhile back for a WG that just doesn’t compare to having the original board.  Thanks again"
-Andy, Essex Junction, VT

"Cool! You are becoming my hero you know that?
Last Sunday I got around to dropping the other 6100 you repaired back into my Tempest and wired it up.
When that thing lit up and went into the test pattern, I almost wept. I haven't touched a *real* Tempest in probably near 18 years. It's so cool to play it again like it was meant to be. Great feeling! Thanks for the good work."
