Vintage Appliance Service OfferedI am not taking any new work at this time. |
|
Remember if you have just purchased an appliance on eBay or an estate
sale or garage sale, chances are it came from someone's garage or attic.
Just the kind of place that cooks the oil and grease right out of it.
It may run when you receive it but for how long? |

| If mixer is not in running condition when received and after disassembly you decide not to have anything done because of costs to repair, item will be returned disassembled and shipping paid by me (actually it comes out of the $25.00 deposit.) If you decide not to have work done after disassembly and don't want item back, your $25 will be returned and item kept for parts. This is mainly to prevent people from sending junk just for estimates and then wanting me to spend time disassembling and reassembling junk mixers. I don't have time for that. | |
| All shipping to be paid by customer. I use FedEx ground for return shipping on most items because of the included insurance and the ability to track items. I am not responsible for damage in shipping, for pointers of safe packaging click, Safe Packing. | |
| Please contact me for estimates on other jobs including special paint work on other collectible items. services@decodan.com | |
| I do not do repair work on customer Waffle Irons and Toasters. There are just too many models to keep up with. | |
| You can also wait and bid on my eBay auctions, there might be just what you want or you can special order and get exactly what you want. As business picks up there will be less time for eBay items so there will be fewer reconditioned items up for auction. |
A good source for finding vintage appliances.
