this issue. The restoration, repair or otherwise of chips, if it continues at the current rate, will destroy our hobby. Again I urge you to use the board archives to read old threads on this subject. Check the club board also.

Whilst it may not be the intention of the fixer/fixers customer in 100% of cases to 'deceive', sooner or later someone will be deliberately (and financially) deceived by every one of these repairs.

I would not be at all surprised if Gene's blood boils when he reads your comments.
