This has come up on another forum. Let's say you specialise in
repairing/servicing vintage hi-fi. A customer brings a system to you to
repair the record deck but you see that the high voltage valve/capacitor
components are in a dangerous state. The customer says just service the
deck.

Do you have any duty to decline the repair/service as you can't return
the system in a safe state? Or any liability if you do?

Well you could do as asked, but ask them to sign a waiver / memo that
explains the problem with the kit and the associated risks. SO they
understand they are accepting any risks resulting.
