Repair, Restoration, and Beyond
Repair: The objective of this service is to replace defective parts determined at the time of the inspection of a unit. This is a limited Point-by-Point service to a set price tag and is being offered to our clientele as an economical service alternative. Our important Replacement Parts Policy applicable to replacement parts and our inevitable Service With Integrity principle are both fully in effect. This service is offered under our VER44 brand only.
Service alternatives, which are given below as Restoration, Restoration Plus, and Near Reissue are service alternatives, which are not to a set price tag but to a high quality level. These service alternatives are offered under our brand Cherish44 only.
Restoration: The objective of this service is not only to replace defective parts but to replace critical parts along with parts known for shorter life expectancy, and to bring a unit to factory specifications while targeting increased reliability.
Restoration Plus (Modifications): The objective of this service is to fine-tune a restored and eligible unit by using proprietary technologies and methods to bring the unit beyond factory specifications. Increased reliability is being targeted as well.
Near Reissue: This option is not a simple re-capping of a vintage unit but to replace all or most of its critical components. A good example for this approach is the complete re-transistorization of a vintage unit along with the replacement of other vital parts to achieve an even higher degree of reliability and performance. This option is available for eligible units only.
