Hi Guys, any suggestions for equipment repairs? As most of my things like microscopes and power packs are from Serrata I usually get them to repair anything that gets broken, located NSW Central Coast MariaQ

Hi,
I would love to have someone come and repair some of our aging equipment and perhaps teach me some tips at the same time..Ocker are you still in the business and would you come to Northern Rivers and service a few different schools?

This morning Bob Death came to the North Shore and spent a couple of hours repairing and assessing equipment for me. I don't know how much it will come to, but I have a large pile of back-to-life equipment! So much cheaper than buying new, and so much better for the environment
I'm sure those of you who were lucky enough to attend his session at the recent ASET Conference would agree that it's the way to go.

Always the new items do not seem to last at all.

Hi all! Welcome to term 3! I hope you all are doing well.
Just wanting to bump this thread. I've got a few waterbaths, heating mantles and microscopes that need a look at. Do any of you have contacts? I'm in the Sydney Eastern Suburbs.
Thanks!!

As a Victorian based repairer I've repaired many, but for some parts are impossible to get or very expensive to have made.
So what we need to know is the brand and the model number to be able to comment on the possibility.

Just had this company( edusupplies) out to service our microscopes and I can only sing their praises. They were totally professional ,very approachable and very efficient.
I would recommend them to any school that needs a service on their microscopes.

Hi Just wondering who to use in the Newcastle area for servicing microscopes?
Just wondering if you found someone?
Also, does anyone know if there's a course I can do to refresh my microscope cleaning skills? I did a session back when the St Mary's conferences were a thing.... then was out of science labs for 8 years and now have a small stash of microscopes needing a look-over. I would rather not outsource knowing I should be able to do it myself but also don't want to cause damage by doing something wrong!

Hi. I did find someone, Bobs Instrument service 0416 721 011. We didn't end up using him though. The microscope that was not working was assessed by an electrician first and it couldn't be fixed.

Thank you!
I ended up finding and doing a microscope servicing course so I will have a look at them myself when I get a chance (because, you know, we have so much spare time!). But I will know where to find someone if I get stuck!
