Sometimes less work is needed and so, of course, the charge
is less.
Repairs such as to the cracked thread on an
ophthalmoscope head can also be carried out. Many things are possible,
just ask.
In situ servicing can be done, prices dependant on distance involved,
the size of the practice and so forth. This needs a specific quotation.
If required, we can collect your instrument, contingent upon
it being well packed.
Used instruments bought and sold.
Trade enquiries welcomed.
