OK.... I will repost what I said on your other thread on May 24.
Might I suggest that instead of trying to overanalyze the predicament
you are in... and complaining about it... that you could better spend
your valuable time getting the up-to-date training and test equipment
that you need, wear out some shoe leather, do some advertising and get
out there and sell your services.... or maybe it is time for you to
get some different training and find another occupation.
This is a fast moving technology and if you are standing still you will
ge left behind.... just like the radio shops did in the 50's, the TV
shops in the early 70's when color tv and solid state came out, etc,
etc, etc, etc.

Come on now.....it is NOT all gloom and doom.... my shop is fixing
stuff that wasn't even invented yet when I opened it in the early 70's.

DVD, CD, Projection sets, LCD computer monitors, compact stereo
systems, etc, etc. .... and of course I still have good business
with Phonograph turntables and related equipment.
Plus..... we have branched out to seek more business with the pro-audio

installation and home theatre installation areas. We also have
contracts with the local hospital, rest homes and hotels (televisions
and LCD monitors) and the local college.
Back in the 70's and 80's there was much talk of the demise of service
shops..... if you are not continually moving forward with new
technology and product training then you are going backwards.... and
eventually out of business.
