He has no Idea how to align the MPX circuit of a Marantz receiver even after I showed him.

Anders is not the most tactful communicator, especially when he's tired, and he's very tired.
Anders has had the opportunity in the past to work along side Vince. Is Vince's technical ability on par with Anders' ability, no, but I think Vince understands where his limits are and is good at not taking on more than he can chew. There are far worse local choices, and I think everyone knows that.
I believe Anders is fairly frustrated right now, that he can not take on any repair work due to the demands of his current day job and the situation with the shop. He'd like very much to handle repairs for everyone, and make sure they are done correctly and to his high standards. He simply can't.
Anders should have found a more tactful way to say what he said, or not say it at all.

Vince may not be a perfect tech, but he can handle basic stuff and even some of the more complicated motor control madness in tape decks fine, and works quick, decent pricing. I know PBJ took his Revox turntable to Vince and he was not able to exorcise the hum from it, but really, that TT has been cursed for years now and no one has been able to take it, so I do not blame Vince for failing on that one.

I blame no one for that ReVox. What a nightmare. I think PBJ is finally moving past it though. We'll see.

Anders what does aligning the MPX circuit of a Marantz have to do with the OP's question?
If you have issues with Vince why don't you call him or better yet talk to him face to face to tell him "he's not really a good technician" or "has no Idea how to align the MPX circuit of a Marantz receiver even after I showed him" I guarantee you wouldn't say that to his face slamming him online is cowardly.

Since I know Anders better than any of you, I believe he was trying to say that Vince can't do all repairs. Vince hasn't always known his limits, and in the past has made attempts to fix things beyond him. Yes Anders would say that to his face and they would have that discussion, as Vince has in the past contacted Anders for help and advice. This is a good thing too, but Anders has little time for this anymore. There are things Anders knows that no one knows due to the length of his experience, and it has afforded Anders a living as well. It's a fine line, giving up that info to just anyone, as it means, Anders loses his own edge.
The way Anders said it wasn't tactful, and could only be clearly understood from his own experience. Therefore you all got the wrong idea. He simply didn't want anyone to think Vince could handle all. From what I've seen from some of your experiences with Vince, he seems better at making those decisions, and Vince should ultimately decide what he can and cannot do.
Anders will respond as soon as he can himself, but he's working.
If he owes you money, please PM him with those details and he'll see you're taken care of.

Hi Bunni,
I do not know you nor have I met you and I've heard nothing but good things about you so please don't take this as a swipe at you.
"Is Vince's technical ability on par with Anders' ability, no"
I take it you've examined Vince's work in comparison to Anders? can you please provide an example to clarify.
I'm also curious as to how you "Think Vince understands where his limits are and is good at not taking on more than he can chew"
I take it you know Vince personally? he's communicated to you personally what his limits are?
FYI, to everyone else on this forum and I'm sure some of you know this already but there are people on this forum who lurk and never post who read these threads & posts. Maybe they know people like Vince maybe they don't but if your gonna slander someone online you should be aware that what is said might get back to the person you're saying it about.
