What is the value of a broken Technics 1200 MK2?

I know how labor is charged. But there is absolutely no reason why you should be charging more than a mechanic for something so simple.

1) It doesn't take 1-2 hours to do it. I can probably do it in under 30 minutes, and I'm an amateur solderer.
2) I said 70 dollars for labor is way too much. If it's factoring in the new cable, it may or may not be worth it depending on the cable that is being used with the table.
3) If it's your top technician working on it, he should be able to get it done all the faster. I can do it in 30, he should be able to do it in 15-20. Even if you're charging 80 dollars an hour, you should have that RCA done for 20 bucks in labor costs.

I mean that seems pretty standard if you can't do it yourself and are paying someone else for their time. My time to do it is is worth a lot more than like $5-$10 after the cost of decent cables and I wouldn't unless it was for a friend.

You're joking, right? 1200's Broken down to the point where they need a complete repair are still worth through
the $200-$300 price range PER. You're living in a fantasy if you believe you're going to get a working pair of 1200's for $200 LOL.

I wouldn't pay to have someone do it but it's hardly worth anyone's time to charge $20 to replace some RCA cables. It can also take a bit more than a half hour if they are making custom cables.

It's really not outrageous at all. If this is a shop doing it they have to pay their employees and make some sort of profit on top of their labor after they pay them. Charging $20 would be basically doing work for free which no business is going to do.

if paying someone $70 to do some repair is outrageous to someone they should buy a soldering iron and learn to do it themselves. I've seen places charge a little over $100 for it which gets to be a bit ridiculous.
