Checked a dryer last month where the hose looked fine from the outside but when I pulled it off the back the whole thing was packed with a solid wall of lint like felt. Airflow was maybe 20 percent of what it should be. The thing is, that check takes me under a minute, not ten, and I do it while the drum is still spinning so I am not losing any time at all. I get that routes are tight and everybody is trying to make their numbers, but a house fire from a clogged vent is not something I want on my conscience for a few extra bucks. Three out of fourteen is a crazy high hit rate and that alone tells me it is worth the stop. What are you seeing on your calls, is it really that rare out there or are guys just not looking?

Wait, you let the shutter curtains touch while the camera was still cocked and it only cost you a bent blade? That's pure luck, my friend. I did the same thing on an FM2 a few years back and it shredded the titanium foil like tissue paper, no amount of jeweler's screwdrivers was saving that one. Hearing that tiny snap is the worst sound in the world when you're mid repair, it's like your stomach just drops. The fact that you got the tension reset in 4 tries over 2 evenings and it fires clean down to 1/8 is honestly impressive, most people would have given up and shipped it out. Charging him the normal $85 like nothing happened is a bold move but hey, the camera works, right?
