General disassembly and tune-up:
This is the standard fee for any shooting/leaking problems, and can also be added onto other repairs if the marker needs a good cleaning and regreasing. Any shooting/leaking problems will require this fee as a minimum (labor charge). The general tune-up includes the following tasks:
· Service for the marker and regulator; the solenoid will be cleaned only if necessary to remedy a problem.
· Basic disassembly of the firing components, cleaning and re-greasing the o-rings and other seals.
· Includes the labor charge for repairing leaking/shooting problems.
· Replacment of any damaged or worn o-rings.
· Adjusting dwell to an optimal level.
· Cost for replacement parts, should you need them, is not included. There may be added charges to remedy some problems you may be experiencing, depending on the issue (I would quote you before installing the part). Contact for a specific quote.
General tune-up costs $15 for the Impulse.
Complete disassembly and rebuild:
This is an upgraded service from the "general" tune-up. The complete disassembly and rebuild is most often used for newly-purchased used markers, or alternately for markers that are about to be sold or traded off (which will hopefully add to the selling price). This service involves the following:
· Service for the marker, regulator(s), and solenoids. You can send in multiple regulators if you have backups.
· Complete disassembly of all pneumatic components; thorough cleaning to remove all accessible debris, moisture, or grease; full hammer piston disassembly.
· Complete rebuild of all standard o-rings and bumpers on the entire marker and regulator(s). Solenoid internal seals or body gaskets aren't included.
· The VFF setscrew is removed and resealed if necessary.
· Includes the labor charge for repairing leaking/shooting problems as well.
· Adjustment of dwell and all other electronic settings to their optimal levels (any board).
· Cost for replacement parts, should you need them, is not included. There may be added charges to remedy some problems you may be experiencing, depending on the issue. Contact me for a specific quote.
· This service requires approximately 30-50 minutes plus one additional overnight session of downtime. The marker reassembly requires allowing loctite seals to cure overnight so this service takes longer than usual.
Complete disassembly/rebuild costs $25 for the Impulse.
Electronics repair:
· Battery connector repair ($5) - This is the general price for 9v battery connector-related problems. This incluses reattaching wires to the mainboard, splicing a broken or cut wire, or replacing the battery snap itself.
· Trigger microswitch repair ($12) - Replacement of a broken trigger microswitch. Please specify either a 25 gram (stock) or slightly heavier 80 gram switch when you send the board in. This repair applies to all available boards.
· Circuit (IC) component repair ($10-15) - This is the cost to replace a broken circuit component on the circuit board. This could be a resistor, diode, transistor, or some other part. These problems are uncommon, but not completely unheard-of. The cost is $10 for most repairs however parts that must first be special-ordered cost an additional $5 (contact for details).
· Green/amber board powerswitch repair ($15) - This is for repairing the actual switch on the circuit board, for green/amber boards only (no Cricket).
· Vision eye repair ($10) - This is the charge for resoldering a Vision eye to its eye ribbon, if it is damaged. Some damaged eyes are beyond repair, if that is the case then there's no charge for the attempt.
· LED repair - see custom LED mod further down on the page.
Custom Modifications:
· Impulse Custom LED mod ($15) - This mod involves installing a new LED on the marker someplace to replace the stock blue one (Cricket board only). The new LED can be placed anywhere on the marker (stock position, back of the frame, etc), in just about any color you want.
